Bullying Lessons

After reading this new book over the summer, Bullying Hurts by Lester Laminack and Reba Wadsworth, we've been following the lessons to show the children how alike we all are.  Now that we've entered into "Layer 2" we are reading books that show some differences.  Our kids were silent, hanging on every word and picture, as we read Ian's Walk by Laurie Leers and Karen Ritz, a story about two sisters and their younger brother who has autism.  Even though our students are only in second grade, there is no doubt that they "got" the point of the lesson as you read their comments on our board.
