Today we had a special guest...
Miss Sidney from the High School came to share her FCCLA project with us! Her presentation was all about bullying and how to prevent it!
She shared so many surprising statistics about bullying in our schools! We discussed different forms of bullying and warning signs of bullying situations.
One of the most interesting things we discussed was cyber-bullying! It is always good to remind students how important it is to be careful when using social media sites and cell phones!
Miss Sidney reminded us all to make sure we think before we speak. She had us wad up paper hearts and try to flatten them again. She asked us to get all of the wrinkles out, which was impossible, of course. This was a visual reminder that although we can say we are sorry, and that helps, we can never completely undo harm that has been caused by hurtful words.
Here are some of our students holding up their wrinkles hearts!
Each of our students were given the opportunity to sign an Anti-Bullying Pledge at the end of the class.
We thank you Miss Sidney for sharing with us today!
Now, we are gearing up for speaker #2 of the week tomorrow! Miss Crousser will be over from the high school to teach us some basic first aid!
