Bullying

This year we are teaching the Second Step Bullying Prevention Unit in grades 1st-5th.  Over the next 4 weeks, Ms. Ague, our School Social Worker, will be working with each grade level to do a series of lessons on bullying. 

In the lessons, your child will learn specific skills to help recognize and handle bullying.  Students will learn how to:
·      -Recognize when bullying is happening
·      -Report bullying to a caring adult
·      -Refuse to let bullying happen to themselves or others
·      -Be a bystander who stands up and is part of the solution
·      -4th and 5th grade students will be learning about cyberbullying.

In addition, your student will be bringing home simple, fun activities called Home Links that will help you understand what your child is learning about bullying at school.  The Home Links will also give your child another opportunity to practice skills for handling bullying 

If you have any questions about the Bullying Prevention Unit please feel free to contact Ms. Ague or your teachers.  Thank you for your support in helping make our school a safe and respectful place where everyone can learn.

1/8

Sean and Shanti did a great job with this week's news:







Students need to approve a fiction book with the teacher by Friday, January 15.  This book will be used to complete the fiction reading project (informational sheet went home on Thursday).  Students should choose a book that is "just right" and that they haven't read before.

Words Their Way will start up again on Monday, Jan. 25 due to MAP testing, Access testing, and Martin Luther King Day.

The January Reading Log and Fiction Reading Project is due on February 8th.

A Six Flags Read to Succeed reading log went home today.  This is due February 22 if your child chooses to participate.  Students may record the same reading minutes that they record on the class reading log.
