Thank You
Thank you to all the teachers that were able to schedule some time for me to come in and give a lesson. I got to help pre-k make listening ears after learning from Howard B. Wigglebottom, play an original board game with 1st grade, make "happiness buckets" with 2nd grade and play minute-to-win-it team building games with 5th grade just to name a few.
Small Group
I want to hear from you!
Small Group Counseling consists of 5 to 10 students usually for 4 to 6 meetings, once per week for about 30-45min. They center around a certain topic. For example, I've done groups on bereavement, relational aggression for girls, and study skills.
So far both groups I've tried to organize, have not been successful. Is there a topic you would prefer I cover? I'd love to get a small group going but I obviously want it to work with the issues you are facing in your classrooms. If you have any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear from you!
