Grade 3
The Power of Words
What should you do when someone uses mean or hurtful language on the internet?
As kids grow, they'll naturally start to communicate more online. But some of what they see could make them feel hurt, sad, angry, or even fearful. Help your students build empathy for others and learn strategies to use when confronted with cyberbullying.
