Community Connection
Thank you PTO!
Counselor’s Corner from Copopa Elementary School
Hello, everyone! This month during classroom guidance, kindergarten students learned
about “A Bug and a Wish”. Sometimes, Sally, our puppet is naughty, and makes bad
choices, like grabbing toys out of Mrs. Dunn’s hands or saying mean words. When
things like that happen with our friends, we can give a “bug and a wish”. We can say “it
bugs me when you take that toy out of my hand. I wish you would ask me first!” Bugs
and wishes help us to solve our own problems without asking for help from a grown up!
Students in first grade learned about kindness. We read the book called “Nico and Lola”
about a boy and a dog he shows kindness to. The dog in the book, Lola, is a black pug.
Miss Neff, the guidance counselor at Columbia High School, was able to bring her black
pug, Stella, over for a visit! Stella is a therapy dog that hangs out with Miss Neff every
day at the high school to help kids. First graders were able to pet Stella and come up
with ideas to show kindness to everyone!
Fourth grade students read the book “Mr. Peabody’s Apples” by Madonna (yes, THAT
Madonna) and discussed using the power of our words for good, to build others up, not
tear them down. Rumors, gossip, and lies can hurt others, and we need to be mindful of
what comes out of our mouths. Our classmates said kind things about us, we wrote
them on our own “apples” to keep and read them whenever we need some
encouragement.
The fall has been a busy one, and even though it’s different this year, we are doing our
best to help everyone learn and have fun. Students are doing a great job wearing
masks and staying safe. Contact me anytime if you have questions about the
counseling program at Copopa or if you need assistance with your child. I can be
