Spring Greetings! 
Our Monthly Theme: FINISHING STRONG
WE MADE IT to May but we’re not done yet!
In classrooms this month, we are reviewing all of the lessons we have been working on that will help us be the best versions of ourselves in school, at home and throughout our lives! Continuing to practice these skills will help us finish strong.
Our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons are taught throughout the year by teachers and me. Students learn two lessons each month. One lesson is taught by their teacher and one lesson is taught by me, their school counselor.
The lessons are divided up into four units.
Growth Mindset and Goal Setting
Emotional Management
Empathy and Kindness
Problem Solving
In September and October students learned about having a Growth Mindset and Goal Setting. The key lessons from this unit included:
Our brain has many different pathways to learn.
Practicing helps build strong pathways for learning.
Mistakes are part of learning and WILL happen which strengthens the correct pathways for better learning.
