Counseling Corner Kaleidoscope Connection - Page 3 This past week in guidance lessons, second and fourth grade discussed careers. Both classes learned about the six categories that jobs falls into, and which types of jobs fit in each one. Sixth grade students learned about Habit 6 Synergize, which is about learning to celebrate peoples differences, instead of just tolerating them. Seventh grade students discussed uplifting and inspirational quotes, and them created their own and decorated them. Eighth grade learned to not sweat the small stuff. We went over tips on how to deal with little things that are not the end of the world Middle School students are also participating in our Lenten Kindness Challenge: Wrapping the School in Kindness.
