Scenarios

Now that we have reviewed the Olweus rules and developed strategies, today's Olweus meeting was to apply our rules.

Ms.  Leom read us some strategies. We "turned and talked" with a neighbor to tell what we thought we would do.

Love their intensity!

Love their smiles!

Students are encouraged to have new partners for each different scenario. 

Then we talk about why we practice scenarios. We want our school to be a safe place. When we find ourselves in situations that make us feel anxious, worried, having thought about our options and having a plan makes it easier to know what to do. 

We always encourage Rule 4, tell an adult at school and an adult at home, even if the adult at school resolved the situation. Talking about these experiences and gaining the words to express ourselves is developing the communication skills we need. As we grow up, our parents are a great resource to navigate our world. We start to build and develop these lines of communication early.
