2nd Step - Social Emotional Learning Tips of the Week:
Kinder – 1st grade – Recognizing Bullying is the first step in getting it to stop. These are clues that help you recognize bullying:
- It happens on purpose.
- It keeps happening.
- It’s unfair and one-sided.
- You haven’t been able to make it stop.
2nd-5th grades – Reporting Bullying – Caring adults can help keep children safe from bullying. When children practice reporting details about their day, they use the same skills needed to report bullying.
