Bully B.E.A.N.S.

I love to use Julia Cook's books in counseling!

3rd grade students learned about bullying using Julia Cook's Bully B.E.A.N.S.

  

Of course, I always bring my bag of Bully B.E.A.N.S. with me! After we read the story, we looked at the following poster to see if we could identify all of these things happening in the book. 

Sure enough, it was all in there!

Once we had a good idea of what bullying is, we took a little time to talk about what is not bullying. I have found with students in K-3rd grade, often situations are categorized as bullying when they really are not. We used the following chart to help us understand better (taken from Pinterest):

This chart is left in each classroom as a reference throughout the year.
