Welcome Back!
I am reading The Recess Queen by Alexis O'Neil. In this story, the recess queen (Mean Jean) is super bossy at recess. She will not let anyone play until she tells them what to do. She will hurt the kids at recess by hitting, kicking, punching and knock kids down. She does not say she is sorry or try to help them up. She does it on purpose! She has no one to play with or talk to because everyone tries to stay away or fun from her. Then a new kid, Katie Sue comes to school and plays at recess before Mean Jean can tell her what to do which makes Mean Jean angry. So, Mean Jean is after Katie Sue to teach her a lesson but Katie Sue invites Mean Jean to jump rope with her. Mean Jean is confused by Katie Sue and doesn't know how to respond to Katie Sue. But, a girl encourages Mean Jean to play with Katie Sue and they become friends. Now, Mean Jean is not mean because she has a friend. Here is a link to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp3bKxYtnMM
Remember to always be kind and treat others the way you want to be treated. Here are some ways to problem solve like Katie Sue:
For small problems:
- walk away
- ignore
- take turns or share
- communicate by talking it out/asking 2 times to please stop
- take a break
- apologize
- someone being threatened (Bullying)
- someone being hurt (Fighting)
- any emergency (kidnapping)
