Counselor's Corner
Hello LVES Families! During our guidance lessons about Responsibility, we have talked about how setting goals for yourself, and making a plan to meet those goals, is a way of showing responsibility. When students set goals, it helps them develop a sense of purpose, and when a child develops a sense of purpose, it can also improve their self-esteem and self-confidence. Goals should be meaningful and personal for the child, so when they achieve them, they develop their own internal motivation. This year we have set a goal for our school to once again be recognized as a No Place for Hate campus! So we will be doing campus-wide activities to promote kindness, tolerance, and respect for all in order to combat prejudice, bullying, and hatred.
What kinds of goals does your child have this school year? Encourage your child every chance you get!
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” ~Zig Ziglar
¡Hola familias LVES!
Durante nuestras lecciones de orientación sobre responsabilidad, hemos hablado sobre cómo establecer metas para usted y elaborar un plan para cumplirlas, es una forma de demostrar responsabilidad. Cuando los estudiantes establecen metas, les ayuda a desarrollar un sentido de propósito, y cuando un niño desarrolla un sentido de propósito, también puede mejorar su autoestima y confianza en sí mismo. Las metas deben ser significativas y personales para el niño, de modo que cuando las logre, desarrolle su propia motivación interna. ¡Este año hemos establecido una meta para que nuestra escuela sea reconocida una vez más como un campus sin lugar para el odio! Por lo tanto, haremos actividades en todo el campus para promover la bondad, la tolerancia y el respeto por todos a fin de combatir los prejuicios, la intimidación y el odio.
¿Qué tipo de metas tiene su hijo este año escolar? ¡Anime a su hijo cada vez que tenga la oportunidad!
"Lo que obtienes al lograr tus objetivos no es tan importante como lo que eres al lograr tus objetivos.” ~ Zig Ziglar
