Kindergarten - 4th Grade

Classes K-7 are called SOAR.  This stands for social/emotional, occupational, academic readiness.  The name encompasses the domains from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).

Classes kindergarten to 4th grade have lessons once a week with me, every week, all year long.  This provides the opportunity to learn proactive behaviors and skills with their whole class.  Lessons work to meet the standards set by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and connect from year to year.  New units are introduced as needed or lessons are adjusted/moved depending on what the class needs at a given time.
