Sneetches:

I like using this video to discuss issues with social isolation, and since it's Dr. Seuss' Birthday, I felt it only appropriate.  

Guiding Questions: What are the guiding questions for this lesson?
  1. Have you ever been "left out"? How did it feel?
  2. Why do people sometimes exclude others?
  3. How did the Sneetches change from the beginning of the story to the end?
  4. Why did the author probably write this text? Is there a lesson we can learn from it?
  5. What is the difference between Sneetches with stars and those without?

School Counselor Brochure

After 8 years as a School Counselor I finally did it!  I made a brochure for my parents!  My hope is that parents will be able to see my roles in the school and utilize me in the best way possible. I want them to see me as  resource, and not just a "Guidance Teacher." Hopefully you will find it helpful as you develop one for your parents.
