Recognize, Refuse and Report

 The Three R's and Bullying Awareness

October is National Bullying Prevention Month and we are learning to recognize, refuse, and report bullying behavior with the Second Step Bullying Prevention Unit. 

We learn to think about the difference between teasing, conflict, and bullying since there is often confusion between the three. They can look very similar. 

The more students, staff, and parents can be informed and caring bystanders, the safer our community will feel for all students.  Committee for Children has a fun superhero, Captain Compassion® if you would like to keep the conversation going with kids. 

Reading aloud together is a great way to keep the conversation going too! Below are some of my favorite books on bullying prevention and kindness:

Each Kindness J. Woodson                                The Invisible Boy P. Barton 

Enemy Pie by D. Munson                                    The Juice Box Bully Sornson & Dismondy

Sorry! by T. Ludwig                                              Mean Soup B. Everitt

Just Kidding by T.  Ludwig                                  My Secret Bully T. Ludwig

        Don't have the books? Google the titles and find a great read aloud online! 

This is one of my favorites 😊
