Each week, I will include a short description of the activity that your student participated in as part of their Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Students complete their SEL lessons with their Advisory teacher every Wednesday during Tiger Time. You, the parent/guardian, are your child's first and most important Social Emotional Learning teacher. I would encourage you to ask your student about what they learned about that week during their SEL time. To help facilitate this discussion, I will include some talking points to bring up with your student.
5th Grade This week was our first counselor lesson! I will be visiting your student's class every Wednesday as part of their rotations in the afternoon. This week, I spent some time introducing myself. Then, played a game to learn a little bit about them. Next week, we will talk about what my role as their school counselor looks like.
Ask your student...
1. What is something you learned about Mrs. Schrader this week?
2. What is your favorite thing about 5th grade so far?
3. What is the biggest change from the Elementary School?
6th, 7th, 8th Grade
This week, students spent time talking about Organization and Preparedness. Getting back into the swing of switching classes and remembering what they need for each class takes some time to get used to, so we spent some time trying to get all of that organized.
Ask your student...
1. Tell me about your locker schedule? When will you be visiting your locker during the day?
2. What are some strategies that you learned to keep yourself organized?
3. Have your student show you their planner. Look at the tools that this planner provides in assisting them with organization.
