3rd Grade Guidance

Hi 3rd Graders and Parents! Mrs. McKenzie here! Glad you stopped by!

In guidance class this year we are working on learning to be resilient. It's important that kids learn the skills to protect their feelings and emotions regardless of what is happening around them. I integrate movement into every guidance class to encourage all students to participate. We also start each class with a different mindfulness activity. Students are gaining tools to calm themselves when they're feeling worried, angry or overwhelmed and will be able to use these tools on their own when needed!

Topics include, but are not limited to: Positive Self-Talk, Identifying Feelings, Healthy Communication skills, Assertiveness, Conflict Resolution and Goal Setting.
