Kindergarten-1st Grade: Zones of Regulation Zones of Regulation is a curriculum that provides us an easy way to think and talk about how we feel on the inside. It sorts these feelings into four colored zones. Once kids understand their feelings and zones, they can learn to use strategies to manage their different feelings/zones in order to meet their goals (schoolwork, managing big feelings, having healthy relationships with others, etc.). | 2nd-3rd Grade: Confidence In 2nd-3rd grade counseling this month, students are learning to share and celebrate how they are smart in many different ways. We read the book The Smart Cookie by Jory John and Pete Oswald which teaches kids that there are many different ways to share their intelligence and talents, and to persevere to find their passions. Students got to create their own "Smart Cookie" that highlighted their glows and grows. | 4th-5th Grade: Power of Words Words have power to hurt or heal, to make someone feel small or tall, and to build up or tear down others. After reading the book What are Words Really by Alexi Lubomirski, we discussed why it's important to choose our words well and use them wisely. What we say to ourselves is just as important as what we say to others. Students were asked to think about the kind of person they want to become and the words that might help them be their best. Then they picked one word that they wanted to focus on in 2023 and decorated a card with their word. |
