Counselor's Corner
I will be starting lessons in the classrooms with the focus on students being able to identify different conflict types, such as a disagreement/rude behaviors/mean behaviors/bullying and the difference between tattling/reporting.
PK - I will read “Billy Bully,” which discusses mean behaviors that cause Billy to lose friends and kind behaviors that helps him to gain friends. Students will also decide if situations are kind/not kind.
K - Students will learn what bullying means and practice using kind words/actions to classmates. Students will color a page with kind words for a peer in class.
1st - Will read “Tattle Tongue” and students will learn the difference between tattling and reporting. Tattling is when you tell a teacher to get a student in trouble and reporting is when you tell a teacher to keep someone safe. Students will practice in identifying situations that are either tattling or reporting.
2nd - Will read “One” with students while doing a food color experiment. Students will learn the term upstander and watch a short video if time permits.
3rd - Will read “The Tease Monster,” which is a book that discusses teasing vs. bullying. Students will learn how to identify a mean tease vs. a friendly tease. They will also learn how their words can help or hurt others.
4th - Will read “The Invisible Boy” after doing an experiment that shows exclusion/inclusion. If time permits students will practice how to handle different types of situations.
5th - I will go over different types of conflicts. We will start with a glitter activity and discuss how gossip or rumor spreads quick, gets messy, annoying, hard to forget, etc. just like the glitter. Will read “What James Said” and have a discussion about our words/spreading rumors. If time permits we will discuss different ways to handle situations.
We continue to be available to all students upon request. If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact us at the emails listed below, or use the attached form.
Caught Being a Leader!
Students cannot only be caught being a leader at school by staff, but also at home by you! If you see your child exhibiting any of the habits on their own without prompting, fill out this form! Examples: Habit 3: Put First Things First - Your child went to a quiet area in your home and began doing their homework without being told. Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood - Your child listened to their sibling’s point of view during an argument, understood why their sibling was upset, and did not push their own opinion of what happened or interrupt.
Students that are caught being a leader will have their name announced on the morning announcements and will be able to choose a charm for their Leader In Me Chain. Students proudly wear their chains to our Campus Awards.
