The Story of the Oyster and the Butterfly

Counseling Lessons for the week of April 27- May 1

I hope you all have had a good week and can't believe we are already heading into May! This week's lesson focuses on what we can do with all the many feelings we may be experiencing during this difficult time; both kids and adults! It's okay to have all the feelings you may be having, whether they are uncomfortable or "good" feelings. It's important to address them, so they are handled in the most healthy ways possible. The Story of the Oyster and the Butterfly: The Corona Virus and Me, will help you to identify ways to do this.

This lesson is for all students, PK-5, so enjoy reading it and make sure you do the activities that are within the story! I think you will find them helpful in expressing those feelings. :-)

Parents, this part is for you! Don't forget that you also need to practice self-care and be good to yourself. During this difficult time, it's important to remember that you are doing your best and that is more than okay! You are doing a great job!! Enjoy this fun little video for a reminder to take "a moment for yourself".

Online Responsibility

Counseling lessons for the week of April 20-24

Our Social and Emotional Word of the Month for April is "Responsibility". There are so many ways to practice good responsibility while you are at home. You can be responsible for cleaning up your own messes, for knowing when you have a Zoom class meeting, knowing when you're assignments are due and getting them done on time, taking care of your pets, helping your parents around the house, and so many more ways. One important type of responsibility we want to talk to you about this week is being responsible while using electronic devices and being on the internet. Check these lessons out to help you with this.

PK-2nd:

How to Teach our Kids about Coronavirus

Counseling lessons for the week of April 13-17:

Hello Oak Hill families! We hope you have survived your first week of online learning! Just remember to take lots of deep breaths and take things one day at a time. We will all get through this together! For this week's guidance lessons, we wanted to focus on teaching your children about coronavirus in a kid-friendly way. You may have already had discussions with them about this, but here are some more tools to help you have those sometimes-tough conversations.

PK-2:



Washing hands is so important during this time! Here's a fun little song to help your children learn how to wash their hands and for how long. Singing a song while washing hands is very helpful in making sure children are washing long enough.



Here are some coloring sheets to remind you to wash those hands and cover your coughs, after you watch the videos!

And PLEASE don't forget to wash those hands! Sing "Happy Birthday" twice while washing your hands to make sure they are really getting clean.


We hope you have a great week! :-)
