This week the focus for guidance is noticing
people's feelings. I am encouraging students to watch for body
language. Often we can get our words to lie, but our bodies won't. For
example, have you ever walked up to someone and said, "What's wrong?"
and they replied, "Nothing." Yet you knew something was wrong. I am
helping kids to learn that if you notice something has happened to hurt
someone else we need to stop the hurt and ask them how we can help.
A
fifth grader this week reminded me how important it is not only to
stand up to bullying behavior, but to help the person being bullied.
When you notice a person has received a negative comment or hurtful
action towards them, try to "fill their bucket" with kindness and
caring.
Here is a video I showed in grades 3-6. Check it out!
