Counselors' Newsletter

During the month of February, students will continue learning about and practicing social emotional skills. Students will learn more about compassion and caring being some of our traits. Third, fourth and fifth grade students will be taking Panorama survey.

Ways to encourage compassion at home!

Compassion

Model Compassionate Behavior: Children learn by watching. Act with kindness toward others, such as holding doors, helping neighbors, and demonstrating empathy in your own daily interactions.
Listen and Validate Emotions: Show compassion by truly listening to your child. Helping them understand their own, and then others', emotions builds a foundation for empathy.
Encourage Perspective-Taking: Ask questions like "How do you think that made them feel?" to help children connect actions to emotions.
Teach Forgiveness: Model and encourage apologizing and forgiving when conflict arises within the home.
