Counselor's Corner
December
Character Education
Now that the hectic pace of November has come to an end, we start an even busier month of December. December is the perfect time to incorporate Character Education Lessons. Character traits like caring, compassion, gratitude, generosity, and kindness can be demonstrated during the holiday season. The holiday season offers daily opportunities to encourage, teach, and model these values. Happy Holidays!
Career Fair
Due to holiday celebrations, our big ticket participants (police and firefighters) for our career fair have prior engagements and are unable to attend. The Career Fair has been postponed till Spring! Thank you to all of those that have been spreading the word...
VIP Mentoring
December's activity will be Random Acts of Kindness. A Random Act of Kindness will be placed in your box. Meet with your mentee to plan this activity together. Acts of kindness range from giving out hugs, picking up trash, and reading to younger students. Have fun spreading kindness together!!
Response to Intervention
As we get further along in the year, it may be time to pump up interventions. If you have students that need to be referred for Tier 3, please e-mail me so we can set up a meeting to discuss interventions needed.
Have a needy family?
Jacksonville will be hosting a Children's Christmas Party on Saturday, December 13th. Toys will be handed out, and entertainment provided. Attached is a Fact Sheet (click the link above) that you can send home with families. If any families come to you looking for assistance, this is a great resource for them, and it sounds like a great time!
