Mrs. Teacher,Cooper shared with me that (boy) in the class has been shoving him out of his lunch seat. This has happened since school began. Cooper only told me this after I asked him if he had made any friends, and he mentioned that someone had been mean to him. He also said he's seen (boy)shove other people. Are you able to assist Cooper in this? We'll work with him on dealing with bullying issues here at home. If you think it's better we came in for lunch, we'll be happy to do that.
Thanks so much for your assistance in this matter.

Mrs. Schenewark,
I will check on this situation. I have not observed this personally and I am in the lunch room with them. I do know that Cooper and some other boys sit at the end closest to where I stand. However, when I am on recess duty another teacher watches my class along with her own class. Also, when she has duty, I have to watch her class and my class.
Anyway, I will check into this next week. You may want to send me another email to remind me on Tuesday. Thank you for making me aware of this.

oh, that breaks my heart!
His portrait is REALLY good!!!
sad, i am not a fan of bullies.
I'm glad that he can put his feelings on paper. I would certainly address the issue of this boy bullying Cooper as well as any other child in the school. Better to nip it in the bud right now. You are right to want to go in for lunch and deal with the situation. The child might have some issues at home that should be dealth with now and that is the reason he is acting out at school.
A great post for so many reasons. Thanks Amy.
I'm sorry to see that Cooper is having to face bullies. I wish I had some sound advice to give, but I don't at this time. However,I do agree that it needs to be addressed by you. That boy could learn a lot from Cooper.
We love Cooper, I hate to see him having that issue at school. It is such a touchy situation and needs to be addressed. Has he talked to his teacher, tried shoving back (I know that may make some frown, but maybe if he stood his ground), or maybe it would be good for mom to come visit for lunch.
UGH! Hate bully situations. LOVE the picture though, even if he isn't smiling. :)
Since each teacher has to cover both classes at a time and it's a bit hairy to watch so many at one time, does the school allow a temporary volunteer Lunch duty assistant (Mom) until the kids get more acclimated to school? Just wondering. :)
We got a call on the other side of the fence on the second day of school. Apparently at recess on the first day Trevor accidentally tripped some boy, the boy went home and told his mother and the mother called the principal. The next day we got a call from our good friend the principal. Turns out the boys were involved in a basketball game when this happened and according to Trevor the boy tripped over his leg as they were going for a loose ball. He apologized but it wasn’t heard. I did my obligatory chat with Trevor reminding him even in the heat of the game to be a gentleman and make sure you pick up your debris, but inside I was shouting tell that kid to suck it up. I’d tell the Coop to sharpen up his elbow at lunch time and let him have it. One well placed elbow has ended a lot of bullying bravery. Uncle Rich
