It is intended to start children and adults talking about bullying in our schools, communities, and homes. It teaches that everyone deserves respect regardless of our differences. Bullying and racism is global. In other words, it hurts people of all ages and races across the world. We must stand up, speak up, and be a friend!On the day after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, a third grade teacher (Jane Elliot) in Riceville, Iowa wanted to teach her class about the importance of the Civil Rights Movement. She conducted an eye color exercise based on separating the class to teach the meaning of prejudice. Author Judi Cunningham wrote a fictionalized story "Blue Eyes Brown Eyes" for children whom this learning guide is to be paired. Inside this fun activity book are questions for the reader about bullying, BE/BE story reflections, anti bullying info and tips, anti bully pledge, parent letter, certificate, drawing and coloring activities.
