Kindness and Safety on the Internet

This week we have had to have some discussions on being safe on the internet 
and being kind.
  • Many of the students shared that they have been solicited for their phone numbers and addresses while online.
  • We had to discuss that words are powerful, sending texts and writing posts are not effective ways to communicate when students are having conflicts or disagree. 
  • Group texts were sent out that were disturbing to some of the fourth graders and rumors were being spread as to who may have sent and what was written. 
  • Musically, gaming sites and Instagram accounts should all be set to private.
  • Check out this website for some information on this popular social media app : What parents need to know about Musically  please have conversations about this at home all the time.

 Techsperts and leaders at work in the library media center
Tons of hard work went into their writing pieces.

along with her husband Matt at the  Triforce  table with Ben's sister!

It has been a very busy week...
