COUNSELOR CORNER
It's almost the end of October! You still have time to perform some "Random Acts of Kindness" in honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month.
My most recent counselor lesson for this month has been on "acceptance" and how we can empathize with others who may have disabilities (or just may seem "different"). Students have had to write or draw with their non-dominant hand, talk with a marshmallow in their mouth, or even try to find a path across the classroom while "blind".
Although the lessons have been full of fun, the students have done a great job of looking at their own feelings during these activities and reflecting on how they can use those feelings to relate to people who they may see as "different". I encourage parents to talk with their kids about these lessons and how they may interact with people, even those with disabilities, in the future.
Blessing to you all! - Erin Gaskins
