Leaving a Positive Footprint | Not in Our Town

Leaving a Positive Footprint

Grade Level: 
Elementary (K-5)

In this new video geared toward elementary schools, students from Grimmer Elementary School in Fremont, CA explore the impact of bullying and ways to be an upstander. 

After intermediate students share personal experiences, they decide to take action and invent the "Leaving a Positive Footprint" activity, where the pupils paint blue footprints with positive messages "walking" though their campus. Later, they work with first grade buddies to discuss bullying and speaking up, and together they make paper footprint cut-outs and create their own upstander messages to post around the school.

Estudiantes de grado intermedio comparten experiencias personales, deciden tomar acción e inventan la actividad “Deja una huella positiva” en la que pintan huellas azules sobre las que escriben mensajes positivos que van “caminando” por toda su escuela. Posteriormente, trabajan con los estudiantes de primer grado para que aprendan cómo luchar contra el acoso escolar. Juntos hacen plantillas de papel en forma de huellas en las que los estudiantes menores crean sus propios mensajes “defensores” o “upstanders” para ponerlos por toda la escuela.
