Missing You all- March 17, 2020 Guidance Update

Hey everyone.  We just wanted to say hello and that WE MISS YOU!!  During this break we want you to take care of yourselves and have lots of fun, but also still do some learning.  These are reminders of the things that we have been working on in Guidance and these are websites and apps that can help you to calm down, talk about your feelings, or just have fun!  For third, fourth and fifth graders, check your Guidance Google Classroom for some assignments that we have posted.  If you complete these assignments and turn them in to us, there might be a little treat for you when we get back.  So remember, when your brothers or sisters are getting on your nerves, Stop, Name your Feeling, and Calm Down.  Use your problem solving steps and make wise choices.  We can’t wait to see you.
