Politely Disagreeing

Our OLWEUS meeting explained the difference between being disagreeable and politely disagreeing.  We role played as a class ways to be polite and respectable to both adults and peers.

Our Class Mural

As a part of OLWEUS Bully Training, our class broke into small groups to create a class mural.  We discussed what we wanted our class to be like and represent.  It was evident that each student had high expectations of how others should be treated.  Our mural was laminated to preserve it for the school year.  It will hang as a reminder of how Mrs. Benton's class will treat others as well as how we want to be treated.

Busy at work.

Group 1 took a break to reflect on what they had done so far.

So many things to represent in our drawing.  How will we fit it all in?

"Look Mrs. Benton.  We drew us hanging from a bar.  Get it,supportive?!"

Our class worked on a mural.  There are four murals.  The groups are:
Group 1: Caroline, Elizabeth, Ira, and Trey
Group 2: Clara Leder, Aerielle, Glynn, and Coleman
Group 3: Lily, Ellie, William, and Alexis
Group 4: David, Julia Palmer, Reiney, and Lewis.

It's All About Teamwork!

Our class has been participating in meetings once a week to help prevent bullying at St. Paul's.  Each meeting focuses on how to work together and how to treat others with respect.  This week's meeting involved working together to pass objects around the line and not mess up the item.  The objects ranged from shoes, balls, tissue paper, to cupcake liners.  The students had to support each other with positive words and their elbows only!  I must say that our class succeeded in this meeting with the exception of a few bent up items.
