My 20 kindergarten students attend a smaller rural public school. For some, this is their first school experience. They come with so much excitement and enthusiasm. They are loving, caring and kind. Many of them ride the bus to and from school. On the bus they ride with and interact with children up to 5th grade. It is their that they may be exposed to and learn negative behaviors from older peers. On occasion, they may be the victims of bullying as well.
