In first grade, we are continuing our work on bullying awareness. During our last lesson, students learned that bullying can occur when someone continues to do hurtful things to another person, even after they have asked them to stop or have shown that they do not like what is happening. For this lesson, students learned about the role of a bystander in a bullying situation. Bystanders are students that see bullying happen. They have the power to support the victim, the person who is being bullied, by helping them walk away and get an adult. They can even talk to the person doing the bullying if they feel comfortable. Sometimes, simply sharing a kind word or including the person being bullied can be enough to help. It can be hard to be a bystander to bullying, but it is an incredibly important job.
For this lesson, students worked to brainstorm what they might do if they were a bystander to bullying. If you have a moment, ask your child to share some strategies they think might help.
