MARCH
This months Parent Connection morning meeting will be on Friday, March 20th. We are trying a different day of the week in hope that more parents will be available to attend. The topic this month is “How to Bullyproof Your Child” Hope to see you there. Adamich hall 8:15 to 9:15.
Please note that I’m available during the day to do individual counseling sessions with your child should the need arise. Maybe your child is struggling with other classmates socially, has worries that are intereferring with classwork, or they are just stressed out. Whatever the reason I would be glad to meet with them. Sometimes just talking to someone and knowing they have support at school can bring peace. If a student would like to meet with me they can tell there teacher, drop me a note in my office, or parent or student can send me an e-mail. I will not come into the class and pull the student in front of classmates, instead I find creative ways for them to leave class where others may not know.
In the month of February I finished up our sessions with 5th and 3rd grade. It is always great to get into the classrooms because I get to know the kids and learn alot about the dynamics of the class. We talked about respect, bullying, teasing, and what to do if it’s happening to you or in your classroom. THe students favorite part seemed to be the “Don’t Laugh at ME” book/song which sends a powereful message about treating everyone the same. I’m sure your child could sing you the song if you asked them.
I will continue to move through different classes this spring implementing prevention classes. There always seems to be a peak in conflict issues that come up this time of year. Hopefully the weather will break soon and we can get outside for lunch recess!
Happy MARCH!
