This year, Guidance is being offered as a "special." Guidance, Technology, and Library will be rotated. The first part of the year we will have guidance, the next, Library, and in the spring we will have Technology. These classes will be held on Tuesdays at 1:00, our regular specials time. I am, however, finding time on Tuesdays to visit the library to take out books. We will do this throughout the year. Eventually, I will do this for Technology as well.
During this first part of the school year, Shannon Baker, our school's guidance counselor will be helping to enrich the social/emotional curriculum that is already in place in our classroom. Shannon will be teaching lessons designed around our responsive classroom school-wide expectations of CARES (Cooperation, Assertiveness, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Control.) Here is Shannon with our class teaching a lesson on Cooperation and also reviewing what it looks like to stay in our own personal, "bubble." INQUIRE with your child what the boy thought he was going to learn about at school when his teacher talked about space bubbles.
