School Year Underway

The school year is underway! Everyone is getting back into the routine of school and the hallways are busy again. I had such fun sharing popsicles and meeting all the new elementary students. It is a blessing to have new faces and personalities at Trinity School. Each new student brings a fresh perspective into the classroom and I will continue to meet with new students throughout the year to get "their take" on Trinity School.

Visiting classrooms for large group guidance activities is one of my favorites aspects of being an elementary school counselor. I have been able to visit various grade levels in the elementary and have had such fun seeing how the children have grown and changed over the summer. In all elementary grades students are focusing on learning more about their classmates. It is very important part of developing peer relationships and all guidance activities are centered on getting to know more about the boys and girls in the classrooms. Primary grades have had fun playing "get to know me" games, while upper elementary grades are taking part in peer interviews. My goal is to have students respect, encourage, and accept one another and what better way than to know more about the boys and girls who sit in class with you!
