Counselor's Connection
Lyman Hall Elementary Chandra Austin-Scott (912) 368-3348
Counseling Core Curriculum February 2016
First Grade- The students learned to "think win win" and be a problem solver when it an issue comes up with another person. We read and discussed Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes as an example of how someone may not "think win win". After the story, the students volunteered ways to use their words to build each other up. The lesson concluded with the students creating a win-win pyramid.
Second Grade- These students completed their last career lesson. They were introduced to careers in the Health Science Career Cluster with a powerpoint presentation and completed an activity that required them to label objects with the career that would most likely use that object.
Fourth Grade- STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers were the focus of February's classroom guidance lesson for these students. They were introduced to several careers and completed a group activity on the Forensic Scientist career.
Fifth Grade- Tolerance was the concept discussed in fifth grade. The students listened to the story Hey Little Ant, by Phillip Hoose. They were taught the acronym ANTS-for Awareness, Negotiation, Tolerance, and Sensitivity and what they mean when it comes to solving issues with others. The lesson concluded with the students creating a friendship problem solver.
