After thanksgiving break, students will begin their 2nd rotation of their Library/Guidance/Technology split. Ms. Baker, our school guidance councilor will be leading the class with lessons on a number of topics including, but not limited to:
guidance councilor's role, emotional literacy, coping skills for anger, worry, frustration, C.A.R.E.S. with the main focus devoted to Assertion and Empathy, conflict and conflict resolution (how do we solve problems on our own? when do we need help from a teacher?) passive vs. assertive vs. aggressive communication, friendships (my friend loves me one day and says I can't go to his birthday party the next! What is one to do?!), and also "similarities and differences". Students will continue to visit the library to check out books on Thursdays.
