February Newsletter

Counseling Topics:

This month, our whole group guidance lesson is on Cultural Diversity.  I am reading the book The Colors of Us, and we are discussing individual differences.  

In the book, we find out that we are all a shade of brown, and we all have the same feelings on the inside.  Therefore, we must treat everyone the same and abide by the “Golden Rule”— Treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Talk to your child about  how they might treat others with respect.

 February is also Dental Health Month.  We will discuss the importance of keeping our teeth and gums healthy.  We will learn how to brush and floss our teeth correctly.  We will learn what to eat  and what not to eat to ensure healthy teeth and gums.  We will also discuss the importance of visiting a dentist on a regular basis.
 

 
Character Word Focus:  Fairness and Honesty
Fairness– treat others with equanimity and impartiality
Honesty– truthful, sincere, and straightforward
