GETTING TO KNOW YOU!
This month has been all about getting to know the students and what an adventure with some amazing kiddos. We spent the first week of counselor time deciding just how different expectations were at home versus at school and how to transition from one place to the other.EVERY JOB IS IMPORTANT
Last week we explored all of the jobs that are available at the school, discussed what each person is responsible for and decided that the school could not run effectively if one person didn't do their job. The student's job this past week has been to identify employees they do not know, ask their name and find out what job they do, then ask them what they like about their job.
TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES AND TIPS
This week we will begin looking at school expectations for learning, homework and testing. We will review test-taking strategies and decide if current habits are effective or if we need to adjust them some as we get closer and closer to high school life.
