Mrs. Sander's GS Counseling Page **__= = = =__** Mrs. Moeckel and I presented at KSU iCamp. **__= = = =__** Happy 2013 **__! We opened our 2nd semester with a wonderful role-play presentation from the 6th grade students. The showed the VES students the three ways they can react in a bullying situation. Our focus was on showing the students how to react ASSERTIVELY (standing up respectively) instead of passive (giving in) or aggressive (hurting back). Check out the student site to see the fun activities your students have been up to!=
