Counselor's Corner 9.5.22

Happy holiday weekend, families! 

What a wonderful three weeks it has been. I have been able to visit every classroom to do a “meet the school counselor lesson” in the past two weeks, except for Mrs. Kernen’s K/1 class (next week!!). It has been a joy to get to know your children and hear their vision for their school and community.  

Classroom Guidance 

I will be in classrooms again in September. K/1 classrooms will be receiving two lessons: a lesson on feelings and a social skills lesson that we are still creating based on each classroom’s needs. 2/3 classrooms will be receiving a lesson on “size of the problem.” This lesson aims to teach children how to problem solve and respond appropriately to issues that arise. 4/5  classrooms will be receiving a lesson on feelings vocabulary and coping skills. Whenever I am in your child’s classroom, I will be sending them home with a “parent letter,” describing in more detail what we did and how you can reinforce this new learning at home!
