Mrs. Coale’s Counseling Corner
We are in the home stretch! Only 27 days left of school! There is so much excitement in the air at Franconia. Our students are looking forward to the warm days of summer and all the fun that it brings. With that being said, PSSAs are just around the corner. Our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will participate in state testing this year. Students are encouraged to get a full night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast and come with a positive attitude. Our teachers do an incredible job at preparing students for the test content. Remind your child that they are ready, talk to them about effort and perseverance and send them off with encouraging words (and a big hug).
This month in the counseling office:
On May 4th, Indian Crest Middle School visited our 5th graders to give a glimpse of life at ICMS. During the month of May, I will visit each 5th grade classroom for a Middle School Transition Lesson. We will review the schedule, talk about our feelings about leaving Franconia, practice locker combinations and so much more. I look forward to spending this time with our 5th graders before they move onto Middle School. If you are a parent of a 5th grader and have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Check out this LINK to my virtual office with counseling information and virtual calm down space.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at bcoale@soudertonsd.org or 215. 723.2596.
