Last week flew by because we did not have school Friday. I headed to the Missouri School Counselor Association's fall conference in Tan-Tara over the weekend and returned to school today and knew I needed to catch up on our Counseling Corner! This year I was asked to present at the conference so that was a bit different than my typical experience. While I was not presenting,  I enjoyed learning about many important issues school counselors and students face and have returned feeling a renewed energy and passion for our Midway eaglets:)

Here's what happened last week!

All grades were working on Problem Solving and learned the Stop Think and Choose model. Each class had separate activites including coloring their own reminder sheets for Stop Think and Choose.

 

Here is a picture from Kindergarten

 

Here is one from first grade with my Practicum Student explaining the steps to Problem Solving.

I didn't get a photo from second grade or Ms. Lenz's fifth grade class this week.  Shame on me. 5th Graders had actually earned a celebration for good behavior so they watched a video and will learn about problem solving this week. On Monday, November 11, I will be switching to grades 3-5 and will have Ms. Stewart's 5th grade class (Lenz's will switch to Media Center). I will include a photo of the staff after the fall parties on Thursday last week. Hope you all have been appreciating the Autumn beauty lately!

Have a great week!
