Mrs. Leslee's
Counseling Corner

Hello!  My name is Leslee Spencer-Long(aka Mrs. Leslee) and I am the counselor at Silva Valley. 

 Here are some of the resources the counseling program at Silva Valley offers-

Classroom Guidance Lessons-Once a month, I rotate to each classroom to teach a social/emotional lesson.  Lessons typically last 30 minutes and cover topics such as Self-regulation, Friendship skills, Mindfulness, Problem solving, and Fixed vs Growth Mindset.

Team Eagle Peer Mediators-3rd-5th grade student mediators who help support students during recess.

The Kindness Crew-3rd-5th grade group that helps promote kindness throughout the school year.

Small Group Counseling-A variety of small groups are offered to students who may benefit from spending extra time developing academic, social, or emotional skills along with their peers.  Groups run for approximately 8-10 weeks and every effort is made to schedule these meetings during light-academic blocks of time.

Small group topics include:  Friendship, Worry, Anger, Grief, Separation/Divorce, Self-esteem, Self-regulation, Guiding Girls & Guys to Greatness(Life Skills)

If you're interested in a small group for you child, please fill out the referral form below and return to the front office or your child's teacher.
