Anti-Bullying Program

This year, MERSD's K-5 classrooms will be piloting a new unit centered around anti-bullying. Not only is this curriculum highly valuable to students as they learn social-emotional skills to support them throughout school, but all teachers and staff members will become familiar with the same language in order to recognize and respond to bullying situations. In our first lesson today we revisited our Class Promise. We began by talking about some of the reasons why we have a Class Promise. Here is our brainstorm:


After brainstorming, we came up with "I can__ by__" statements. We each chose a part of our Class Promise, and wrote down a specific way we can show that each and every day in our classroom, out on the playground, and at home with our friends and families. 




Here are are sharing our thoughts with each other!


Together, we will continue to learn and practice being kind citizens!
