Kindness Rocks

A couple of weeks ago during Care Time we talked about the connection between kindness and our brain. We wrapped up the lesson by creating kindness rocks to display and remind us to be kind to ourselves and others.

If you are personally interested in learning more about being kind, you may want to check out Shaunti Feldhahn’s book The Kindness Challenge.  You can also visit her site to find your kindness quotient and sign up to do the 30 day Kindness Challenge.

Future Possibilities Project

 

Your child has the opportunity to participate in our Future Possibilities Project. Students who participate will have their submission posted in the hallway.

What do you do?
Create a career that can not be googled.  It has to be completely made up!

How do you do it?
Build and/or draw a future career. Take a picture of it and put it in the slide show.
Describe the career.
Tell what kind of training will be needed for the career. Examples: high school, technical school, college, military
Tell how much money a person working in this career will make.

When is it due?
Put it on the slide show or turn the picture  into Mrs. Arnold or Dr. Carey by the end of February. Slides will be posted as they come in.

For more information and examples click here (you can find this on the OB Counseling Blog). If you have any questions contact Hayley Arnold, or Dr.Kristine Carey, our school counselors at 314-983-5546 or harnold@ladueschools.net.

Better Together

 

Caregivers, we wanted to take a moment to let you know we are here to partner with you to help your child grow and thrive. 

• We are able to consult with your child, you, other staff members, and outside providers.  Your child can request a visit with us by completing the counselor request form on our blog or going to their School Counseling Clever page. 

• We teach lessons to all of our students and provide home connections to extend the lesson. You can visit our curriculum page to learn more. 

• We advocate for your child’s needs.

We help connect people and resources. If you are looking for something to help your child be successful you may want to check out our resource topics page or contact us for more information.

You Are Loved

 

Our students love to see pictures of themselves up in our building. 

Please add a picture to this slide show of your child with something or someone they love. If needed you can send the picture to Mrs. Arnold and she will add it to the slide show for you. The slide show will be printed off and hung up in the school.
