Flipping your lid?



I was able to visit the classrooms the first 2 weeks of school to welcome our preschoolers, kindergarteners, new students, and returning students. We talked about my roles as a school counselor at Boone and all the services I can offer to them and their families.

We have just started our guidance lessons this past week.  I have started introducing Dan Siegel's hand model of the brain and Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It to the 2nd-5th graders. We are having some great discussions about the brain, how it works, and it's connection to our feelings and learning.







K-1 is learning and reviewing Kelso's Choices.  We are talking about the difference between "small" and "big" problems.  Students are learning simple choices that empower them to solve their own small problems.
