Investigating Bullying at Abington Avenue

The class took a tour of Abington Avenue to learn how its community feels about bullying. We walked through the floors of Abington Avenue looking for evidence. When we reached the center stair well to the fourth floor, which the first grades rarely use, we found the "No Bully Zone."


"We decided for one of our lessons to walk around the school and see what Abington Avenue thinks of bullying. By the time we got to the fourth floor, the top floor, we found this in the stair well."

The students read the posters and pointed things out to their classmates. I took pictures of many of the posters. I explained to the students we will have more time to analyze the posters in the classroom. The students know the posters exist, but I want to encourage them to critically think about what they mean and why are they there. This is the objective for our next lesson.
