Counselor's Corner
Welcome back!
I hope everyone enjoyed our long break. This week I am visiting all 3rd and 4th grade classrooms for guidance. Our topic is learning styles. The students are learning about the 4 different learning styles, which learning style works best for them, and ways to study that will help them do their best in school. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
I wish you well,
Lisa McCory, Counselor
