Would you like to add "Mean Soup" to your recipe file? Just ask the three year olds how to make this easy recipe! While talking about good ways to handle their angry feelings we read a delightful book,"Mean Soup", by Betsy Everitt. We discovered that laughter and exercise are two great ways to handle our mad feelings. The K-4's also discussed feelings and the importance of using our words to talk about emotions. Thinking for yourself and not following the crowd were topics covered in the K-5 classes. Using the stories and puppets in the DUSO series are fun ways to cover important topics for these younger students. 1st graders met best friends, EG Eagle and Turtle, as they faced bullies and discovered that each person is special. The 2nd graders are beginning an important unit on teasing. Learning to get along with all different sorts of people and respecting others are topics we will cover often and in depth.
I wish you could hear how insightful your children are and how enthusiastically they participate in our counseling classes. If you see me with a smile on my face you can be sure a student put it there! Thanks for your support and please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
