Upcoming Events
Our word of the month for November at Fir Grove is GRATITUDE.
As we reflect on what we are thankful for, our students are participating in projects to help those in our community who have unmet needs. We will be collecting new, unwrapped toys Monday 11/18 - Tuesday 12/3 and then colorful, fun socks of all sizes for children who are hospitalized this season. The sock drive begins Tuesday 12/3 and ends Tuesday 12/17. Please contribute if you can!

School Counseling Program:
I'm in every K-5 classroom at least once a month to teach lessons that address social/emotional/behavioral skills as well as academic and career development. The topics are outlined in a curriculum overview. The shaded boxes indicate a topic that is covered over a few weeks during the given month while the non-shaded boxes indicate a one-time lesson. The counseling learning targets (Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success) are available if you're interested in knowing the broader goals of a comprehensive school counseling program. For an explanation of what school counseling programs are all about, you can check out this overview or this Prezi that I shared with our school staff.
