Today, our class reviewed an article called, "Tough Talkin'!" Discussing Bullies and Other Problems."
We have been learning about WHY authors write what they do! We've broken it down into 3 areas that are Easy as P-I-E! P=Persuade, I=Inform, E=Entertain
Today, our article informed us about bullying and other problems that they face as students and the final question on our activity asked, "What can schools do about bullying?" Their answers were so well written--I just had to share a few!
"They can have assemblies about bullying." -Zaylea
"Keep trying until they stop!" -Matthew
"Stand up for themselves until they stop!" -Macey
"Bystanders can actually help stand up to bullying or you can defend yourself." -Benito
"They can stand up to bullies and don't be a bully!" -Alexis
"Keep more eyes out for bullying." - Tristan
Mrs. Laverdure is a Special Education Strategist in our building and she is involved in the morning meetings of all grade 3 classrooms. All 4 classrooms earned the opportunity to be involved in the TRIMESTER 1 Social Skills Celebration. Each class received a plaque to keep in their classrooms as well as the opportunity to hold the traveling trophy--a gumball machine. During our celebration today, the children were able to chew gum and the watched a short clip from "Finding Nemo" showing a group of fish working together! She explained that as long as we continue to work together moving on the right path, we will succeed! Thanks Mrs. Laverdure for all of your hard work with our classroom!
