COUNSELOR’S

CORNER This week’s Bucket Filler lesson is

Bully Beans by Julia Cook.

Bobbette is a mean bully, who

makes children do and say

anything she wants. Bobbette

tells the children she will twist them into human

pretzels if they do not do what she wants. When

this little girl talks to her mom about the bully

her mom gives her Bully Beans (jelly beans).

Bully beans are magic beans that make you

strong so you can stand up to bullies.
