This year our guidance lessons will be once a month for each class and a mini character trait lessons during morning meetings every 6 weeks. During Guidance Lessons each class will come into my classroom and we will do a 30-40 minute lesson. I encourage you to talk about the topic for each month with your child to reinforce it's importance.
**If you signed the SB 12 Counseling Consent forms on parent portal and chose the "DO NOT CONSENT" your student will not be able to participate in our whole class guidance lesson, instead they will be put in another teachers class in their grade level until my lesson is over.**
What exactly is a choice wheel? As the name suggests, it’s a simple wheel that presents children with choices. Nine, to be exact! The Kelso’s Choice Conflict Management Kit is a system for children in grades K-5 to become empowered to solve their own problems. First, the system helps you teach them the difference between a big problem and a little problem. After that, it gives them the tools to resolve conflict on their own. That’s where the choice wheel comes in!
