School Counselor Update!
Limestone Counseling News
What did we discussed in September
Wow! I can not believe that it is already the end of September. Through these first few months, we have discussed topics that are focused on helping your children learn the skills they need to be successful at school. We have covered topics such as, Skills for Listening and Learning (Eyes watching, Ears Listening, Body Still, Mouth Quite; Focus attention, Being Assertive, Using Self-talk). We are now going to begin to transition from skill for learning to skills for relationships. Focusing on how to work with one another's differences and to use empathy with others to resolve problems and miscommunication.
Looking Ahead
October - Prevention Month
The month of October brings us two very important topics each year. During the month of October, we will focus on prevention of bullying as well as substance abuse. We will start our Bullying Prevention lessons the first full week of October. We will use the stopbullyingnow.gov mini webisodes. The kids love them and I look forward to a great discussion about the ways we can stop bullying. This topic will also kick off our first Limestone Anti-Bullying Club initiative, the buddy bench. We will have a bench placed outside on the playground that will be a safe haven for students to sit when they have no one to play with. Students have been instructed to seek out those students and invite them to play! We are hoping that this initiative will help reduce loneliness and increase friendships with students. During our final week of October we will celebrate Red Ribbon Week with several activities focused on unity and solidarity of saying NO to drugs and acohol
