December Newsletter


Counseling Topics:
This month, our whole group guidance lesson is on being generous.   We are learning what it means to be generous. When we do things to help people because we want to, we are being generous.

We are writing, illustrating, and sharing about how we have been or could be generous to others.  

We can be kind to others by making a card, giving  flowers, reading a book, smiling, cleaning up, doing a favor, and/or saving money for a special cause.

Ask your child about ways they can be generous to others and let them share with you.
 
Monthly Character Word Focus:
Generosity-kindness: willingness to give money, help, or time freely.  Talk to your child about being generous.  Each student will have an opportunity to be generous by sending in new and/or gently worn winter items (coats, jackets, mittens and /or gloves) during the week of December 7-14.   The focus of the campaign is to provide winter items to those in need in our community and surrounding communities as the winter season approaches.  All donations will be sent to the One Coat Campaign.


Feel free to contact me any time
with questions and/or comments.  I will do whatever I can to help your child have a positive experience at AEEC.

November Newletter


Counseling Topics:

In October, the guidance lesson was on making healthy choices.  I read Mariko Wears Her Thinking Cap.  We discussed ways to be healthy: eating healthy foods, exercising, getting plenty of rest, and making wise decisions.
Please encourage your child to eat healthy, exercise, get plenty of rest and make wise decisions.

In November, I will be reading The Way I Feel and we will be discussing the importance of knowing how others feel so that we can respond to their feelings appropriately.  We will be identifying basic feelings and possible causes for those feelings, also.

Character Words: 
Our character education words for the month are Self-Esteem/Pride.  Have your child make a list of things they are good at and a list of things they like about themselves.
