This year I started practicing mindfulness with students at the beginning of every classroom lesson. I was honestly surprised at how much they LOVE it! Today, I had 2 students (siblings) bring me this as a gift. They were so excited to give it to me. I love this job🥰
During one of my small groups today, we discussed the difference between listening and hearing. When I had students name a good listener and why, majority wanted to tell my why their parents were NOT good listeners. The reasons? Cell phones, TV, and video games. So sad.
It's National School Counseling Week!! Social-Emotional growth is one of the State Board's outcomes and counselors work every day with students in this area. The theme of this week is "School Counselors: Providing Lessons for Life." Thank you to all the school counselors in KS!!
Kansans told us that they wanted MORE school counselors and they wanted them working directly with students. I'm happy to help celebrate National School Counseling Week and hope that you take the time this week to say THANK YOU to a school counselor!
Happy National School Counseling Week (#NSCW19) to #schoolcounselors across the US. This week we're highlighting the impact and influence these great educators have on the next generation of leaders - our students!
“Miss Nothern! My therapist gave me some mindfulness print outs and I thought you’d like copies since you love mindfulness so much!” I love my kiddos 😭
