This month in our classroom counseling lessons, students will be learning about acceptance and cooperation. We will talk about what it means to be a good friend, appreciate what makes each of us unique, and work together to solve problems. Students will enjoy stories, games, and activities that help them practice using kind words, sharing, taking turns, and helping others feel included.

If you would like to keep the conversation going at home, here are a few easy questions you can ask your child:

• Who did you work with today? What did you do together?
   

• What does being welcoming look like in your classroom?
   

• Can you tell me about a time someone included you or when you included someone else?

Thank you for helping us build a school community where every student feels valued and supported. If you ever have questions or want to learn more about our lessons, please reach out!
