Elementary School Bullying Project

[rob ackerman]

I am a principal in Massachusetts who is hoping to establish a project between classrooms that is centered on bullying/teasing.
ideas?
Read and discuss a common book?
work on a voice thread project?
use a wiki to engage in conversation and share thoughts?

we are pretty tech savvy here, so I am open to any ideas.

thanks

I have a student who is writing her dissertation on Cyber bullying. This is the focus of all her work. She may be interested in working with you. Her research could certainly add to a common book, along with all the experience she brings. If you are interested in contacting her, please send me your name and email address, and I will forward it to her.

My only request is that you let her get through this summer's work on her dissertation before she is pulled too many directions. The D has to be her focus!

Thanks,
MaryFriend

Hi!
I am a tech ed teacher teaching k - 8. I would love to do a project about bullying/teasing. It is an issue in our schoool. A few ideas are currently buzzing around my head. Send me a message if you come across anything.

HI! Could we cooperate in a project?

[rob ackerman]

what are your ideas? Where is your school? I am always interested in making connections between schools

[Safta Alina]

HI! I would like to cooperate with you too.
Themes> culture, literature, theatre, teaching methods...

Safta- where are you based? We are in Massachusetts and are trying to collaborate with some students grades 3-5 on a mutual topic that could help our students to realize that globally we are and need to be aware of each other

Literature sounds like a good topic. Could we see if we have some mutual books that students have read or are planning to?

thanks
Rob

I am from Romania. My students are 11-14 years old.
We could choose some books and discus some themes.

[rob ackerman]

Safta- do the kids read books in English? Could you give me some idea of books they have read or are planning on reading?

thanks

[Safta Alina]

I must ask them. Haw old are your kids?

[rob ackerman]

Safta- kids are 8-11 years old. How about yours?
