Our Classroom

 Everyone’s been trained. We want to keep you safe.  There is strength in numbers  If a bully is trying to be popular, then having most of the class say, “I don’t like what you’re doing” will stop them from achieving their goal.  It is difficult for the bully to target a victim if we stick together and no one is left out.

 It’s not tattling:  When you help someone who is in danger, who is being hurt physically or emotionality, by speaking out.  The goal is to get help; not to get someone in trouble.

 Jimmy took my place in line, Mrs. Torres. Make him move.  Susie is calling me “four eyes” again, Mrs. Torres. I need help.
