Mr. Kudo and Mrs. Kāneakua go into the classrooms about once every other week to teach various Guidance lessons. The school year opened with the counselors reviewing school expectations and then on to Friendship lessons. Students learned the characteristics of a good friend and the importance of developing lifelong friendships. Most recently, the counselors have been in classrooms taking up the topic of bullying. Students explored what bullying is, types of bullying, and various ways to deal with it. The next subject that Mr. Kudo and Mrs. Kāneakua will tackle is conflict resolution, or strategies to solve problems.
Mrs. Oyama's class listens to a story about bullying.
