Counselor's Corner
Rincón Consejero
Dear families,
This week has been a great opportunity for us to practice March’s character trait of Cooperation, “working together to reach shared goals.” Last Friday, several 4th and 5th graders presented a group project at our host school, Webb Middle School. It was organized, relatable, and rehearsed - they did a great job working together! Through the windy days, we helped each other stay safe. In counseling lessons, students identified what it means to stick together.
Review Cooperation as a family! This week, plan a time where everyone needs to work together to accomplish a shared goal like cleaning up the space you live in or making a meal together. Make sure everyone has a role to play with specific tasks. When the project is complete, discuss and celebrate how each person’s part was important to the end result.
The Character Strong program is not just for fun. It is a district-wide initiative to help students develop, not just academically, but as a whole. Austin ISD’s SEL/CP&I office (Social Emotional Learning/Culturally Proficient and Inclusive) has particular goals for our children’s learning. See the chart below for a look at their framework. This month’s Cooperation easily fits into Relationship Skills, which connects to Collaborative Problem-Solving. Cooperation is also related to Responsible Decision-Making and Social Awareness.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns or suggestions:
Como siempre, no duden en comunicar conmigo por cualquiera pregunta, preocupación o sugerencia:
