Hello Grant families,
The second trimester of the school counseling program is coming to an end! We just finished our final week of small group counseling sessions and are celebrating all of our students’ hard work! These groups provided support and taught skills specific to their identified needs. The areas addressed include impulse control, grief, anxiety, social skills and friendship, problem-solving and self-esteem. I am proud of the growth that I have seen in the students who participated! Thank you for your support of your students throughout this process.

During the third and final trimester of the counseling program I am excited to get back into classrooms to teach whole group lessons. These lessons will be based on the needs of the classroom as identified by the classroom teacher. I will also focus on individual counseling support and look at additional interventions including attendance supports and support for our 5th and 6th grade students as they look forward to their transition to middle school next year. 😊
Our Purposeful People Character Trait for the month of April is Courage. Courage is “choosing what is helpful, right, and kind even when it is hard or scary.” Courage is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Strong. Throughout the school, students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting.
Wishing you all a wonderful Spring Break!

Mrs. Williams' class made leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's Day. Unfortunately, the pesky little guy was not persuaded by their delightful creations. | |

Ms. Blalack's fourth graders have been studying Native American Legend stories. They read, and analyzed, several legends, learning about protagonists/heroes, antagonists/villains, and story lessons. Students then partnered up to complete a project. Partners read a Native legend together, cooperatively wrote a summary of the story, created a 3-dimensional diorama representing the setting, characters, and events in their story, and did an oral presentation to their classmates. Completed dioramas are on display outside of the library. | |
