Yes, I have learned a lot for the last past few months. Project Corner stone is the best resource that helped me learn. This helped me learn knew ways to solve problems. Now if I am in a conflict or my friend is, I know how to solve it.

I have learned a lot of things from Project Cornerstone. I have learned to deal with bullies and cheer myself up. This information is really helpful in middle school if you are afraid of bullies. All of the activities were fun, but I would like it if we put on plays about the bullies and the target. Overall, I think Project Cornerstone was really helpful except for the one thing I mentioned. I think Project Cornerstone should continue forever.

I like it. It helps me think about how other people think in a bullying situation. I know what to do. It is useful knowing about the target, bully, and up-stander or by-stander. I like how you read books when the main character has to solve there problems.

I think that Project Cornerstone is pretty good. I definitely have learned something so far. I just haven't found a time to use them yet. The bully books that you read us last year didn't have that much impact one me because no bullies have ever tried to bully me. The books you read us are also pretty good. I especially like Salt in his Shoes.

I think this program is helpful. It helps kids learn strategies in different situations. They know how to stand up for who they are, make new friends, achieve goals, and etc. This type of information is useful for students so they can remember all of it for when they even go to middle school. I have learned a lot from Project Cornerstone.

In Project Cornerstone, I have learned lots of things. I have learned how to stop bullying, how to calm down and feel better when I am mad or sad, and how to achieve my goal. I think Project Cornerstone will help students who didn't have it yet because it teaches you what to do when you have problems and how to achieve your goals. It is really fun too and I like all the books. All the books are very interesting. I like Project Cornerstone a lot.

I have surely learned many things. I learned not to bite the hook from one of the Project Cornerstone books last year. When I go to recess, I get called names and I admit that I am that name. Then I would tell the yard duty that people were calling me names.

I like project cornerstone!!! It helps a lot for when you go to middle school and there are bullies. I also think that the books we read are vey interesting and have good morals to them.

I think that Project Cornerstone is helpful to the whole school. First, it helps victims have a way to get out of the bullying. For example, they can ignore and walk away. Second, many students enjoy reading the books about how a person in the book handles the bullying. We then learn a new way on how to deal with bullying. That is why I think Project Cornerstone is helpful for everybody.

I think Project Cornerstone has helped me in many ways. The books and activities have kept me interested. When I have conflicts with friends or bullies, it is easier to solve the problem. However, we have a little too much worksheets. Worksheets help, but sometimes students don't really learn many things from it. Activities inspire students to learn more, and in a fun way, so that it can sink in and let them remember forever.

I think Project Cornerstone is very helpful and should continue. The books they read to us are examples in life that may happen no matter what. They teach us to learn to live with these challenges and to overcome them. If we didn't have Project Cornerstone, there might be bullies in Portal. Having it keeps away scared targets and even snobby bullies.

I think Project Cornerstone is helpful because it helps you understand how to stand up to bullies and how to be an upstander. It also helps you build confidence in yourself. I think you should keep Project Cornerstone because it can help many kids in the future. It also gives you the message that we should not allow bullies to get us by standing up for ourselves. Keep up the good work!

I think that Project Cornerstone is awesome. I just think we should have some more project kind of things. Paper work doesn't work all the time. My idea is for next time. Maybye we should act it out and see how it feels to be the bully and how it feels to be bullied. It is just an idea. Think about

Agrima said...

In my opinion, Project Cornerstone is great! It teaches me many things such as how to get along with other people, to deal with conflicts, and what to do when someone else is getting bullying or hurt.I have to say I agreed with Anshul about the plays though. That way you can actually see what bad is happenning instead of getting told. Also, people who don't really understand can now relate it to their life! I hope Project Cornerstone continues doing this remarkable program for children in the future!

I think Project Cornerstone is helpful sometimes, because it gives you some advice on how to keep yourself safe from bullying and other issues. Sometimes I feel like Project Cornerstone is a bit unhelpful because I might already know some things but overall Project Cornerstone is pretty helpful.

I think that Project Cornerstone really helps because we can learn how to deal with bullying and other problems. Without it, we wouldn't know how to deal with things like bullying.

PJC is great because it shows you skills on how to be an upstander, how to handle bullies, and how to follow your dreams like Micheal Jordan. I especially liked the part where you showed him shooting hoops. The books that you read to us are great. But maybe you can raise the book a little higher when you read.
