Random Acts of Kindness Week

Our theme for classroom lessons is kindness this month.  I suggest you look at randomactsofkindness.org/lesson-plans These are well developed detailed plans for each grade K-5.  

Promote College Readiness

The counselors promote the First Fridays college gear every month.  All staff include their college(s) on the posters introducing ourselves that hang by our offices.  We do bulletin boards that talk about where people the students would know went to college.  We talk about post-secondary options in our career lessons and through career cafe presentations.

NSCW15 Appreciation

Yes the letter from the superintendent, emails from principal and AP, and teachers' comments about school counseling week make me feel appreciated but it is the kids' cards that make me smile!

NSCW15 Sign

Kindness Bulletin Board

We are using this iPad style bulletin board throughout the year. For this month we changed the background screen color and added a boarder. We laminate everything to reuse another year. We add real Apps to go along with our monthly theme. We have an ipad initiative in grade 2 so those students are alwasy asking about the Apps. For February we are focusing on KINDNESS in our class lessons. Of course for NSCW15 we but a sign at the bottom advertising this week.
