Guidance Lessons
This month in our guidance lessons, we’re focusing on Career and College Readiness. Students will explore a variety of career paths, take virtual field trips to different universities, and learn more about the exciting opportunities that await them in the future.
Our 5th graders will also begin learning about the different magnet schools offered by our district—an important step as they start thinking ahead to middle school and beyond.
In addition to planning for the future, we’ll also take time to reflect on the present. We’ll be talking about gratitude and the importance of being thankful for the people and things we have in our lives.
Let’s make it a month full of learning, reflection, and appreciation! 🍂✨
