Counselor's Corner
Hello LVES Families! The character trait for the month of December is Caring. Being a caring person means showing understanding of others by treating them with kindness, compassion, generosity, and a forgiving spirit. In our guidance lessons this month, students will learn ways they can show they care about their families, friends, teachers, animals, and the environment.
And remember, the smallest gesture or act of kindness can often impact others in a big way. A simple hello, smile, or taking the time to ask someone if they are ok, and listening to their answer can really help people feel better. This holiday season, ask yourself how you can help others by showing you care! :)
“No one is a failure in this world that lightens the burden for someone else.” ~Anonymous
Hola familias de LVES! El rasgo de carácter para el mes de diciembre es el cuidado. Ser una persona cariñosa significa mostrar comprensión de los demás tratándolos con amabilidad, compasión, generosidad y un espíritu de perdón. En nuestras lecciones de orientación este mes, los estudiantes aprenderán formas de demostrar que se preocupan por sus familias, amigos, maestros, animales y el medio ambiente.
Y recuerde, el gesto o acto de bondad más pequeño a menudo puede impactar a los demás de manera importante. Un simple saludo, una sonrisa o tomarse el tiempo para preguntarle a alguien si están bien, y escuchar su respuesta realmente puede ayudar a las personas a sentirse mejor. ¡Esta temporada de vacaciones, pregúntate cómo puedes ayudar a otros demostrando que te preocupas! :)
