Counselor's Corner with Ms. Baldi
November 2019
|
|
Hi Bay Laurel Families! This month we will be focusing on the character disposition of Autonomy & Independence. Raising children to take ownership of their words and actions, having self-determination and self-reliance helps foster confidence, cognitive growth, self-resilience, success and inner happiness.
“
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” Denis Waitley
It’s been wonderful getting to know our Bay Laurel students, seeing them engaged in lunchtime clubs, interactive in the classrooms and implementing the second step program with the Journeys and Kindergarten students.
Below is an article about how parents can foster autonomy and encourage child development:
Thank you for stopping by the Counselor’s Corner. I look forward to working with your children and invite you to contact me with any questions, concerns, or thoughts. I am on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00am to 3:00pm, and Wednesdays from 9:00am to 12:30pm.
Thank you,
Cheryl Baldi
School Counselor

RED RIBBON WEEK & HALLOWEEN SUCCESS

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped to organize the schedule of Red Ribbon Week events and work at the Book Fair! Our kids had a great time picking out their own books and going shopping! We will continue to have the final events of Red Ribbon Week on Monday...so
Wear Pajamas

NEWS YOU CAN USE - especially our newer families!

Parent/Teacher Conferences:
Monday kicks off our first Parent/Teacher conferences of the year with our TK/Kinder classes. A few weeks later, Grades 1-5 will have conferences. This is a time to check in with your teacher on your student's progress toward grade level goals. Each teacher will be setting up conference times with you via an email message. If you have not heard from your TK/Kinder teacher, please review your email for a missed message and then contact your teacher.
In order to allow for time to conduct the conferences, those grades having the conferences will be on a shortened day schedule during that week. For example, next week, the TK/Kinder students will be getting out of school at 12:15pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday will be regular dismissal at 11:30am. For Grades 1-5, early dismissal will occur at 12:15pm all that week.

On Facebook, there is Bay Laurel Elementary School (the official school page) and Bay Laurel Parents (a parent-run page). On Twitter, you can follow @BLDolphins and @LVUSD.
