October and November Counseling Lessons

Post date: Nov 30, 2016 7:11:35 PM

During the month of October and November we have gone over Habits #2 and #3:

Habit #2 - Begin With The End In Mind (Have A Plan)

Habit #3 - Put First Things First

We shared stories about Goob Bear saving up money and planning on what he was going to spend it on, while Jumper Rabbit took the money he earned and spent it all on stuff that didn't last. We also share a story about Pokey Porcupine playing instead of studying and then failing his test because he didn't prepare like he should have!

We had some great discussions about having a plan before you do anything, setting goals and then working hard to meet those goals. There was also good discussion on getting our work done first, and then having the rest of the time to play and do what we would like!

One of the other things that we started to talk about was careers and jobs and to begin thinking about what kind of jobs are out in the world. Most of the typical jobs were named (police, firefighter, nurse, doctor, teacher, etc.). During this time we were able to watch part of a video that shows some jobs that you might not normally think of! Check out the video below:

This video really got our brains turning and thinking about what we want to be when we grow up AND what it might take to have the job that we want!
