Lower Elementary (Grades K–2): Building Kindness & Emotional Awareness
Younger students are still learning how to identify feelings and navigate friendships. That’s why the lower elementary bullying prevention assembly focuses on:
- Kindness and empathy – Learning the value of being kind to others every day.
- Understanding emotions – Recognizing feelings in themselves and others.
- What is and isn’t bullying – Understanding the difference between conflict, meanness, and true bullying.
- What to do if someone is being mean – Knowing safe and simple steps to follow.
- What to do if you see someone being mean – Teaching kids to be “upstanders,” not bystanders.
Students return to their classrooms inspired to treat others with respect and with practical strategies to use if they encounter unkind behavior.
Upper Elementary (Grades 3–5): Conflict Resolution, Digital Awareness, and Bullying Prevention
Older elementary students are beginning to navigate more complex friendships — and for many, their first digital interactions. The upper elementary bullying prevention presentation gives them practical tools for both the playground and the online world:
- Recognizing and managing emotions – Staying calm and making better choices in tough situations.
- Digital communication skills – Understanding how messages and posts can be misinterpreted.
- Conflict resolution techniques – Learning to solve problems respectfully.
- What is and isn’t bullying – Differentiating between conflict, teasing, and bullying, including cyberbullying.
- What to do if you are bullied – Clear, age-appropriate steps to take both online and in person.
- What to do if you see bullying – Encouraging students to step in safely or get help.
- Building a respectful school culture – Creating a classroom and community where everyone feels safe.
This presentation ensures kids are equipped to handle challenges in both their real-world and digital relationships.
