Make sure that your students understand that you take bullying very seriously and that bullying is not allowed in your classroom or at the school.
Students should know that you expect that they:
• Should not bully others; • Should be helpful and kind to
students who are bullied; • Should report bullying that
they experience or witness to you or other adults at school.
04/20/23 15
• Take immediate action if you observe or suspect bullying. • If possible, set aside some
time during each school week to talk with your students about bullying and peer relations.
• Learn as much as you can about bullying among children and youth and best practices for addressing bullying.

Why did K.B. tell her mother that her day at school was "just great"?
A) A) She didn't want her mom to worry about her.
B) B) It was a great day, because she was excited to see Mr. Bittner.
C) C) She probably thought her mom would get mad if she said she had a bad day.
CC
I doubt it. Her mom probably would be
upset and concerned. She
definitely wouldn't be mad at K.B.
BB
I don't think so...but seeing Mr. Bittner may have
been the one good thing in her day!
AA
I agree.
04/20/23 25
What might be a better way for K.B. to answer her mom's question about her day?
A) A) Tell her mom she doesn't want to talk about it.
B) B) Lie and tell her mom that she made new friends so her mom isn't worried about her.
C) C) Tell her mom what really happened on her first day.
AA
That probably won't make K.B.
feel any better. Her mom also won't know what to
think. Are there any other good
answers?
BB
Hmmm. I don't think that's going to help K.B. any. Plus, her mom
probably will find out that it isn't
true.
CCI think this is the best answer. K.B. probably
will feel better just talking about her
horrible day. Her mom seems really caring and may have some
good ideas about how to help K.B. at the new
school.

If you were K.B., what would have been the worst part of your day?
A) A) When Cassandra dissed her in front of the science class.
B) B) When Cassandra and her friends wouldn't make room for her at the lunch table.
C) C) When Cassandra pulled the ketchup joke on K.B. and everyone laughed at her.
D) D) When she found the "teachers pet" sign on her locker.
E) E) It's hard to say...It was all pretty horrible.
AAThat was pretty bad-especially
since the whole class laughed at
her.
BBThat must have been really hard on K.B. Has this ever happened
to you or anyone you know?
CCShe looked
really embarrassed, didn't she?
DDYeah. Especially since this was at
the end of a long day of
being bullied.
EE I agree!

Did Melanie bully K.B.?
A) A) Yes.
B) B) No.
AAAlthough she wasn't as mean as Cassandra, Bibi, or Mimi, she did join in some of the bullying. For
example, she helped to make sure that K.B. didn't sit with them at the lunch table, and she laughed
at K.B. when she found the "teachers pet" sign on the locker. On the other hand…she did look kind of upset when K.B. sat on
the ketchup packet. What could Melanie have done to make sure she helped and didn't hurt K.B.?
BB Hmmm. I don't think I agree. Although she did look kind of
upset about K.B. sitting on the ketchup packets, Melanie did join
in some of the bullying. For example, she helped to make sure
that K.B. didn't sit with them at the lunch table, and she laughed
at K.B. when she found the "teachers pet" sign on the locker. What could Melanie have done to make sure she helped and didn't
hurt K.B.? 04/20/23 28
Why do you think Melanie didn't laugh when K.B. sat on the ketchup packets in the lunch room?
A) A) Maybe she didn't see it happen.
B) B) She thought she'd get in trouble.
C) C) She thought Cassandra and the other girls had gone too far in picking on K.B.
AA Take a look
again. She saw it happen,
alright
BBMaybe...but I
think there's a better answer.
CC I think you're right. So what should she do
about it?
