A Note from Our School Counselor
Hi Harmony Families,
Happy Spring! I hope you are finding small moments to pause and enjoy the bursts of sunshine that this season brings. As we approach warmer weather and spring break time, you may find that you or your children are having increased difficulty focusing. This is especially true given what we know about the mental and physical effects of our unpredictable year. It makes sense that we need additional strategies to help us regulate and focus. Click HERE for a great article from Edutopia that gives 10 focused attention practices for children and adults.
I am available if you would like me to attend your child’s conference, or if you would like to set up a separate time to meet to discuss your child’s social/emotional well being.
You can reach me by email at hlosser@mtbaker.wednet.edu.Take good care, celebrate the small victories, and be gentle with yourselves.
-Ms. Losser
