RHES Counseling Newsletter
Volume III
This year ACPS elementary school counselors are focusing on a common social emotional learning topic every month. December's topic is Acceptance. Throughout the month, I will be sharing SeeSaw activities and synchronous lessons on Zoom that promote acceptance and inclusion. Check out the resources below to extend these conversations at home!

Monthly Mindful Moment: Scarf Snowstorm
- Twirl around in an imaginary snowstorm with your scarf
- Breathe in and breathe out as you make the sound of the storm (hoo - woo!)
- Toss the scarf up overhead and catch it on your head, arm, knee or any body part
- Notice the texture of the scarf and make a sound with it by rubbing the fabric
- Cover yourself up with a pile of scarves imagining you are buried in snow
- Throw a scarf up in the air and try to keep it floating by blowing it from underneath
