We will be providing guidance lessons to help students improve and support their social-emotional learning. Also, each month there will be a character trait focus. The counselors will send out SEL lessons weekly that will help teach and support those traits. Here is the sequence of our monthly character traits:
August: Creating a Classroom Community/Core Values/Kindness
September: Respect
October: Courage
November: Gratitude
December: Empathy
January: Cooperation
February: Perseverance
March: Honesty
April: Creativity
May: End of the year activities & celebrations
A student will be selected at the end of each month for "Panther of the Month" by their teachers. The student will be selected for exemplifying the character trait of that month (starting at the end of August).
