Hello, the month of November our counseling classrooms lessons will focus on "being thankful". We will discuss what it means to be thankful, why we want to be thankful ( including gratitude) and students can share what they are thankful for. We want to think about what we are thankful for EVERYDAY as it supports you feeling happy and cared about - important feelings for all of us! I hope you have a great month!! Take care,
HAPPY FALL!! I hope you and your family enjoyed the fall break. The month of October has been a busy one for Krey Counseling. Three additional group counseling sessions have begun, our "Social We Thinkers" lessons have continued in grades TK -3rd. and I have been enjoying having students share their fall break experiences or other events going on in their lives. I am so proud of the classes that have had new students join us at Krey - our Krey students are so welcoming and kind. Hope you have a happy, healthy and safe month of October!!
Hello Krey families! September has been a busy month as I have started our "Social Thinking" lessons with TK - 3rd. grade. If your student's teacher has signed up for these lessons I have sent you information on ParentSquare. I am also going into classrooms for this months character trait of "be supportive". The dicussions occuring in the classrooms are so interesting and positive. Thank you for bringing your student/s to school every school day!!!
Hello Families and welcome to our first full month back to school! I have enjoyed greeting your students at the front gate as they arrive to school. I also enjoyed going into your students room and seeing students return with smiles and being able to welcome new students to Krey. This month, I have been able to go into some classrooms for a presentation/discussion on this months character trait of "be responsible" as well as just going into to say "hi" to students and ask how their day is going. WELCOME BACK and please contact me if you have any counseling support questions for your family.
Student's seem very excited about spring break this March! They have been sharing fun family trips and feeling happy about not waking up early for school. I hope you and your family enjoy this break and that you find time to relax. Stay safe and healthy!!
Happy February!! I hope you had a great winter break and are enjoying the first few months of the year 2024. I have been able to present "be a friend" in some classrooms this month and having great discussions with students on their values of friendship. If interested, below is the slide show I use;

We also had our 100 days at school celebration to honor students 100 days of learning. I am so grateful that I am at the front gates in the morning as I was able to see the student's smiling faces as they entered school through the "100" walk-through sign at the gates.
It's December and as we are near our Winter Break I hope you and your student/s are enjoying these last few weeks of year 2023!! I have been enjoying going into your student's classrooms to present and discuss our Krey monthly theme of "be considerate". Below is the link of the slide show if you would like to view what I showed your student this month. I am so proud of how considerate so many of our students are, as they shared with me ways they show family, the earth, friends at home and at school, ways they care and are considerate. I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy!

I love fall; the cooler weather, hot chocolate and the leaves changing colors are a few of my favorite things about this season! I have started counseling groups this October as well as finishing the "social thinkers" curriculum with TK - 3rd. grades. I have been enjoying greeting your students as they walk through our front gates as we start our day with smiles and kind words.
November I start presentations on our monthly theme of "be thankful". Discussions in your student's classrooms are always interesting and fun as we talk about our topic for that month. What are you thankful for? Feeling gratitude about something or someone supports positive feelings about your life. Have a great fall season!
Happy September!! This month I will go into some 4th. and 5th. grade classrooms to present and discuss the valuable life skill of "being supportive". The "Social Thinkers" presentations and discussions will continue this month for grades TK - 3rd. Students are doing a WONDERFUL job participating in these discussions, sharing their thoughts and feelings and are so welcoming when I enter their classroom. Hope you and your family have a great month of September!
This August I will start BUSD's "Social Thinkers" with grades TK - 3! I will read books, and have discussions with your student/s regarding thoughts and feelings while introducing various social skills. Most students love this time and we practice a calming strategy before the book.
If your student is in a 4th. or 5th. grade classrooms I may be scheduled to go into their room for a presentation on this months theme "be responsible".
Krey's counseling classroom presentations have begun!!!
