Crosby ISD Counseling Dept.

It is difficult to believe we are into Week 6 of not being able to attend school. The news of school being cancelled for the remainder of the year has your counselors, teachers, administrators and the rest of the staff sad. We love seeing our students each and every day! We are still here for you! You are still able to reach out to us and we are available to help get through these uncertain times.

As we continue the rest of this year learning virtually we hope these extra virtual opportunities help you out. Remember, you can find your counselor's contact information here.

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s award-winning children’s literacy website, Storyline Online, streams videos featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books alongside creatively produced illustrations.

Reading aloud to children has been shown to improve reading, writing and communication skills, logical thinking and concentration, and general academic aptitude, as well as inspire a lifelong love of reading. Teachers use Storyline Online in their classrooms, and doctors and nurses play Storyline Online in children’s hospitals.

Storyline Online is available 24 hours a day for children, parents, caregivers and educators worldwide. Each book includes supplemental curriculum developed by a credentialed elementary educator, aiming to strengthen comprehension and verbal and written skills for English-language learners.
