Mrs. Amber’s January Counselor’s Corner
Welcome January! Looking forward to a great 2nd semester with our students, we will discuss New Year’s Resolutions, Mindfulness, and Feelings in counseling this month.
MAP (Measures of Academic Performance) scores were sent home with 4th grade students in October. We discussed the 4 areas of scoring in the sections of Math/Language Arts. A field trip will take place in the Spring for students who achieved advanced or proficient in these areas. MAP is an assessment given at the end of the school year to 3rd-8th grade students and EOCs for 9th-12th grade students. Our ESL students take the ACCESS assessment during this month. As a school, we are continuing to set goals for the remainder of the year; to push ourselves to be successful in class along with the tests given at the end of the year.
In counseling, I will speak with 3rd and 4th grade students during the next few months to set MAP Goals.
Last month we had an assembly. The NED’s Mindset Mission. Students enjoyed the storytelling, illusions, and yo-yo tricks while they took a journey with the character NED. Students learned about the Power of Yet- If you’re not good at something, it just means you’re not good at it yet, How to spark courage in others, and How to keep learning and growing, even when they think they already know something. This was a “Pay It Forward” assembly, which means the contributions from the yo-yos that were sold helped another school the opportunity to enjoy the NED show. Thanks for helping us PAY IT FORWARD.
