Lesson Plans

September-This month, Pinedale students will learn what a School Counselor does.  We discuss when, where, and why we can see the school counselor.  Kindergarten students will listen to the book, "Who the School Counselor is Not".  This book talks about the different people at the school and the role they play.  First and Second Graders will watch, Mrs. Joyce Gives the Best High Fives and we discuss when we should see the school counselor.  Third through Sixth grade will watch Mr. Peabody's apples and talk about the harmful effects of rumors and gosiup.  We discuss the difference between Tattling and Telling.
