Counselor Corner

Check out the Counselor Corner S'more to see what your child is learning in Counseling class each month and to find other helpful tips and resources for your whole family!

The counselor teaches lessons every other week in the classroom. This space will be used to share what students are learning the first half of the month and the last half of the month in counselor. You can check out the counseling calendar here to see what days your student has counselor. You are encouraged to talk to students about what they learned and how they can apply that learning at school and at home.

FIRST HALF OF MONTH

K - 5th Grades

In preparation for Red Ribbon Week (October 28-31), we will be discussing healthy choices for our bodies. Focus in the youngest grades will be on good things to put in our bodies to help us grow stronger and smarter. In the older grades, we will focus on the risks of smoking and overuse of alcohol.

SECOND HALF OF MONTH

Kindergarten

We will be discussing dealing with our emotions and ways students can self-regulate.

1st-5th Grade

We will learn about having a growth mindset.

This year, this portion of the counseling newsletter will be devoted to suggesting ways to spend time with your children. Some research indicates that just 10 minutes a day OR 30 minutes a week of time free from electronic and other distractions and dedicated to your children can improve behavior, confidence and self-worth. Give it a try and experience the results!
