Thank you so much.

Today my kids fell apart when asked to participate in a cooking challenge. Hopefully tomorrow will go better.
Got to watch a game of real life operation today when a student got a piece of paper stuck in his ear and my coworker had to use tweezers to get it out.
My campers, who are 7-9yrs, are participating in a summer leadership program. For the program they must learn how to become leaders and how they can help improve their own community. Already my students have been excelling. They are doing team building challenges everyday, picking up trash whenever they see it, fixing their local playground, and reading books about other young children who have been leaders in their communities.
Now they are tasked, via the mayor, to create a 15 min powerpoint on the subject of bullying. This powerpoint they must present to their teachers, the mayor, their families, community leaders, store owners, and their friends.
Do you have any suggestions on places for them to research? Any thoughts on the topic?
They are answering the following questions:
- How are bullies made and why do people bully?
- How does cyber bullying and social media effect kids?
- How can you prevent bullying from happening?
- How does bullying effect drop out rates for students?
- How can we help students who are bullied?
