Today we explored themes related to bullying, and awareness. Discussions revolved around everyone's responsibility when bullying occurs. Ask your child about Bullies, Bystanders and Activists, and ask them how they can become Activists when they see bullying happening. We also talked about the effects of bullying, and how to develop stronger self esteem through self awareness, self acceptance, and positive affirmations. Students repeated self affirmation statements, and thought about/wrote some of their own. We will be continuing the discussions tomorrow, and in the future, but today was a great chance to reflect on the topic, and build more understanding around it.
Thursday we will be planting seeds of peace and acceptance as a symbol of our efforts to take action and stop bullying in our world.
