Love & Logic
With the kids home all day, now might be a good time to take a tip from the best teachers.
I have been working with teachers for over 65 years. I've learned from them, I've supervised them, I've observed them as a consultant, and I've noticed that they all have one thing in common.

Social & Emotional Games
This is a fun charade like game called What are you doing? This game promotes creative thinking and listening to directions. Enjoy and take some time to play!
- Player A does a motion like in charades, and then player B asks “What are you doing?”
- Player A must name a motion that doesn’t match the motion that they are doing.
- Player B must do the motion that player A named.
- Player A then asks, “What are you doing?”
- Game continues until someone makes a mistake. When a player messes up, they go to the end of the line and the next person steps up.
Try Something New-Table Top Paper Football
Dear Family Members,
If baseball is not your thing and you can't wait for football to start, try this version of tabletop paper football. This was an indoor recess favorite for me and classmates when I attended elementary school back in the late seventies and early eighties. Enjoy!
Meet Mr. Schibley
School Counseling Office Hours
The SCS requested that counselors schedule office hours everyday. I have elected to schedule my hours from 9:30-10:30 on school days, Monday through Friday. Ethically speaking, in the elementary grades the parent is the client because the child is a minor. In an effort to continue school counseling services, remain ethical, and meet the requirements of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000 I would like to suggest that we connect through email. In each instance you will need to be present during the meeting as we are communicating electronically and I have no way to monitor what is happening on your end.
When requesting a meeting, and this meeting could be just to say hello, please follow the protocol below.
Scheduling an Appointment with Mr. Schibley

2. I will schedule the meeting and email you with the specific day and time. If the day and time you selected are taken I will make every effort to find a different day and time that meets your needs.
