"Just wanted to share that I have been using the POP Chart with my individual and small group counseling students. I have modified it a bit for grades 3-5. It is easy for them to understand and they like it. As soon as they come in, they are going right to the board to do the stress check and POP Chart. It really helps them understand the importance of getting ready to learn. I give it a big thumbs up!"
