As I'm sure most of you know, we have an amazing counselor here at the school. A lot of people see counseling as something you turn to when something bad happens, but I disagree. I think counseling should be a regular practice becuase it helps you cope when something bad happens. Most people do not even think they need it when they could really benefit from it. Elementary students don't have it easy, and it is important they have the tools to cope with things they are experiencing or will experience in the future. I think it is important that children are able and comfortable to talk about their feelings and communicate when they are struggling. So, in my classroom we will practice social emotional learning on a regular basis.
