Classroom Guidance for 2023-2024
Twice a week, I go into the library and present a guidance lesson. Each student will get two guidance lessons per month. This page will let you know what lesson I will be teaching for that month. If you have any questions, or do not want your child to participate, please email me at tlittlefield@shermanisd.net.
My theme for this year is "Counselor's Cafe".
This year we will have fun "cooking" up The Bearcat Way character traits and social skills. With each lesson the "menu" will change and we will use a recipe format to learn each topic.
March
Our Character focus for March will be Resilience.
All students should have access to my Google classroom, if they don't, please contact me and I will add them.
Our Lesson...
March 19, 21, 16, & 28 will be a lesson on resilience - bouncing back when you get knocked down. We will read the book Gritty Ninja by Mary Nhin and learn that when things get tough we can use the 4 Cs: Confident, Calm, Carefree, and Capable. We will also read After The Fall How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again by Dan Santat.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
