Counselor Corner December 2025

This month, our Kindergarten and 1st grade students are learning about Honesty and Calming our Fears/Being Brave. Students are practicing how to tell the truth kindly and learning simple ways to feel brave - like taking deep breaths or talking to a trusted grown-up-when something feels a little scary.

At home: Ask your child, "Can you tell me about a time you were honest or brave today?" and celebate their courage together!
