Just a quick update with some important information about classroom counselor lessons coming up this semester AND some announcements about 5th grade articulation events.
During the Fall, the focus in my counselor classroom lessons was on the social/emotional domain (Conflict resolution, friendship skills, bullying prevention, and empathy). This semester, I will be focusing on the academic and career domains (responsibility, study skills, growth mindset, career awareness, and for 5th graders, the transition to middle school).
I will also be offering my 2nd round of small group counseling sessions. Small groups that will be offered will include social skills/friendship, school success skills, and Stress-busters/anxiety group.
For 5th grade parents, please make sure to remember the following dates for 5th grade articulation events:
Tues, Feb 6th: 5th grade visit to Simpson Middle School AND rising 6th grade parent night at Simpson
Tues, Feb 6th: 5th grade visit to Dodgen Middle School AND rising 6th grade parent night at Dodgen
