Counselor Corner
Hello Sunset Families!
As we continue our SEL lessons at each grade level, I wanted to share what your students are working on between now and Spring Break.
We are continuing with the Second Step curriculum in grades 2, 3 and 5. They are learning the 4 STEPs of problem solving. The steps are: S-Say the Problem, T-Think of Solutions, E-Explore Possible Outcomes, and P-Pick a Solution.
1st graders are learning the difference between big problems and small problems, various ways to solve problems, and when to ask an adult for help using Kelso’s Choice curriculum.
4th graders are learning about decision making, friendships skills, refusal skills, and the perception of harm/risk related to drug use (particularly smoking/vaping and alcohol) using the Too Good for Drugs curriculum.
If you have any concerns for your child or need resources or referrals, I can be reached by phone, email or stopping in.
Take care,
Sam Winchell, M.Ed., NBCT-SC
