Engage students in meaningful conversation and relevant activities to help with their prosocial development. Malcolm is a bundle of energy! He’s fast and athletic, and he LOVES soccer! Sometimes, Malcolm’s energy causes him to lose focus. This means he gets in a little trouble at school, and it even means sometimes he gets distracted when he’s playing sports. Malcolm’s close friends joke with him, like he jokes with them, about silly mix ups. They are all the butt of the joke at one time or another. They tease each other because they are close friends and they care. But Malcolm starts to notice that Joe’s teasing feels different. Joe’s teasing is more direct, and always pointed at Malcolm. Overtime, it goes from small comments to saying things that are unkind, and when he teases, it’s hurtful. Malcolm figures out that Joe isn’t teasing, he is bullying. Luckily, Malcolm knows just who to ask for help, and his good friend Carlos is there to support him when he stands up for himself. Readers learn the difference between teasing and bullying through relatable examples, and see different strategies for stopping bullying in action! This quick-read chapter book is part of the Navigating Friendships book series, which is great for 4th-7th graders who are struggling with changing friendships, learning about self-advocacy, and figuring out how to get along with others. Included are 20 activities along with digital content link for reproducible forms and worksheets.
