"Codington Newbies" : A small group for NEW Codington students in grades 1-5 to share fears/anxieties of starting a new school with other new students, support one another, foster a common bond between each other, and learn all about what makes our school wonderful. This group meets in the beginning of the year (during the 1st quarter) for 4 sessions (once a week).
"Banana Splits" : A small group for students in grades 1-5 who have parents that are separated, divorced, or they live with only 1 parent. This group helps support kids experiencing these life changes, allows them to feel a sense of normalcy (in knowing they're not the only one), adapt to changes, and gain coping strategies to deal with changes/emotions effectively. This group meets throughout the school year, starting in September and ending in May. They will meet every other week for 30 minutes.
"Self-Controllers": For students in grades 1-5, this group is for students who need to learn the art of self-control, self-discipline, and taking responsibility for one's actions/choices. Students will learn: "I think things through before I do" and also "If I mess up, then I 'fess up." (while also learning to correct it or make things right). This group meets in the Fall and Spring months, once a week, for a total of 8 sessions. I'm running this group 2x this school year due to the high need and high participation numbers. Your child (if signed up) will be in either Fall or Spring.
"Bright Futures" : A small group for students in grades 1-5 who need a boost in their academic motivation and and self-direction for learning. Children in this group will learn school success skills such as organization, studying, time management, and finding connection and relevance to each learning opportunity. This group meets during the middle part of the school year (winter months) , once a week, for a total of 8 sessions.
"Test De-Stress" : A small group for students in grades 3-5 who have test stress/anxiety and need to feel prepared for high-stakes tests. Children in this group will learn about test anxiety, general test-success skills, identify factors contributing to test stress, learn about the brain's reactive vs. proactive responses and neuroscience as it relates to anxiety/fear (and learning in general), learn coping skills, and develop a positive attitude/plan by changing negative stress (distress) into positive stress (eustress). This group meets for 8 sessions, 1x/week, in the Spring weeks leading up to the EOG (End of Grade test).
