Guidance Councilor

      Every other week Ms. Beach, our guidance councilor, comes in and does a special lessons with us.  These lessons include things like how to be a good friend, the difference between tattling and telling, and about being ourselves.  She usually does a short introduction by reading a story or having a group discussion.  Then she does a follow up activity.
      The last couple times she has been focusing on the difference between tattling and telling.  The first week she read a story called Tattlin' Madeline by Carol Ph.D. Cummings. After they discussed when is ok to talk to teachers about things and when it is just tattling.  This week they played a fishing game to reinforce the concept of tattling and telling.
