CLASSROOM GUIDANCE
During the first week of school Ms. Knauer and Ms. Schleicher introduced themselves to all classes before starting monthly classroom guidance lessons. Ms. Knauer asked students in grades 3 – 5 to complete a needs assessment so that she could better plan her classroom guidance lessons this year to meet student needs. This year, we will be following the Baltimore County School Counseling Core Curriculum. Lesson topics for this year include:
September- Introductions and Orientation
October- Bullying
November- Conflict Resolution
December- Personal Safety
February- Character
January- Celebrating Differences
March- Emotion Regulation
April- Coping Skills
May- Careers
All parts of our program are directly related to the Baltimore County Guidance Essential Curriculum and the Baltimore County Blueprint For Progress. After each lesson, students will bring home a parent letter explaining what was taught. Be on the lookout for these letters so that you may discuss with your student what they learned!
