October means more than Fall...

October is National Bullying Prevention Month!  

It's a great time to incorporate appropriate literature to help teach against bullying.  Click here for a great list that offers numerous suggestions across all grade levels:

Did you know:
  • Nearly one third of students aged 12-18 reported having been bullied at school, some almost daily (National Center for Education Statistics).
  • There are four kinds of bullying:  physical, verbal, cyberbullying, & covert bullying (rumors, facial gestures, & mimicking) (National Centre Against Bullying).
  • Bullying can hurt for years!
          


Let's put a stop to this!
