We are very excited to introduce ourselves as well as our purpose for this blog. We are Elementary Education curriculum block students at Salem State University.

Here is a bit of information on our bloggers:
Hi everyone! My name is Julie Koivisto, and I am a senior at Salem State University studying elementary education and sociology. Throughout my four years at Salem State, I have been involved in a number of different organizations on campus, ranging from Student Involvement and Activities and Residence Life, to Retention Services and tutoring at the MTEL Preparation Center. With all of my extracurricular activities and classes, I have learned a lot about how people view others in society, and why people may react to situations in certain ways. The topic of bullying has always come up in each of my classes, and it has always sparked an interest with me. With this blog, I hope that I will be able to relay any information pertaining to bullying that will help viewers understand the affects it has on our society. Thanks for viewing!
Hi! My name is Courtney DaSilva, I am currently a senior at Salem State University. I am an Elementary Education and Dance major. During my time at Salem State, I have been actively involved with children from the ages of four to eighteen through teaching dance. In my studio alone, bullying has not been a large factor however, through hours spent watching the news and becoming involved in school settings and classrooms, I have truly begun to see the tragic amounts of bullying in our society. Over the course of this semester, I encourage you to stay connected with our blog in order to educate yourselves and spread the information on the importance of demolishing bullying across our nation!
