Counselor's Corner
As November arrives, classroom guidance lessons continue to be focused around empathy and critical thinking. Lower elementary students have been learning about emotions and how to recognize feelings in themselves and others. Upper elementary students have been working on developing the use of empathy, the understanding of others feelings, in order to respond in more understanding ways. Thank you for supporting your child's education and please let us know of any concerns you have with your child.

- What was the hardest thing you had to do today?
- Did any of your classmates do anything funny?
- Tell me about what you read in class.
