Classroom counseling in January will be a mix of making up lessons that were rescheduled due to snow in December and presenting new lessons for January.
The following are the lessons/topics we will be covering during classroom lessons in January: Kindergarten – In kindergarten, we will be discussing feelings. Being able to identify feelings is the first step to being able to cope with difficult feelings. Grade 1– In first grade, we will be talking about making mistakes. We will review that everyone makes mistakes, sometimes, and we will talk about what you can do when you make a mistake. Grade 2 – In 2nd grade, some classes will be finishing up lessons on upstanders from December. All classes will have a lesson on self-control and how you can demonstrate self-control to help yourself and others. Grade 3 - In 3rd grade, will be making up our lesson on conflict resolution from December. Students will focus on identifying the size of the problem and possible solutions to conflicts. Grade 4 – Our 4th grade classes will be making up lessons on upstanders from December. All 4th graders will also participate in a lesson on teamwork. This is a particularly difficult skill to practice in our current times. We'll talk about the important aspects of teamwork and play a story building game, as a class. Through the minute meetings conducted in September and January, Mrs. Humphries was able to measure what students have learned from School Counseling Lessons up to this point in the year. Check out how much our students have learned!
This year, I will be visiting classrooms, again, to talk with students about a variety of topics in the areas of social/emotional development, academics, and careers. The following are the lessons/topics we will be covering in September: Kindergarten – I will be introducing myself to students and talking to them about what the school counselor does. Grades 1 – 5 – To kick off our lessons for our Anti-Bullying Campaign, students will discuss the definition of bullying and how to handle bullying. Please look for a flyer about bullying to come home with your child!
