January Counseling Update
Betty Ross - School Counselor
Classroom Guidance
I read the book Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success by Coach John Wooden. Our K-2 students learned about the building blocks we all need to do our personal best so we can be successful. Our second graders wrote on a sticky note which block they needed to improve on the most. Check them out in the hallway.
I used a PowerPoint on Smart Goals with all 3-5 students. They went through various scenarios to practice writing smart goals as well walking them through getting their reading project completed. Each student then had to write a goal on a sticky note. Check out what your students want to work on. Display is in the hallway outside computer lab.
