We will be using a new curriculum for guidance this year! It is call the Choose Love Movement! It is based off of 4 concepts, courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion!
Weeks C & D (opposite of bonus tech.)we will be teaching classroom guidance lessons to the entire school. During those weeks, please check out what we are teaching so that you may continue the conversation at home! We have a set plan for all 10 lessons, but all lessons are subject to change due to the need of the students (the website will be updated accordingly). Here you will find a list of our set classroom lessons, at the bottom is a list of possible other lessons that are interchangeable.
