3rd Grade Guidance

3rd Grade spent several lessons learning about Bullying and how to be a defender of their classmates. I was recently introduce to the book One, by Kathryn Otoshi. This is the cutest and simplest illustration of standing up for yourself and others that I have seen. Blue is a quiet color, and Red is a hot head. No one stands up to Red until One comes along and shows the colors how to "stand up and count". I shared it with 3rd grade and then we watched a video clip of students performing the story. The students then worked in pairs for a fun discussion using dice. How can you become a ONE?
