COUNSELOR'S CORNER
Class Lessons
In November, Mrs. Phelps visited all K-2 classrooms. Kindergarten/Y5s worked on understanding what Personal Space means and how to make sure not only they, but those around them are comfortable. First grade explored manners and respect, how they go together, and how we show those around us respect. Second grade discussed the importance of Honesty and how lies can get them "tangled in webs."
Ask your student what they learned from Mrs. Phelps class lesson!
