Last week was the National School Counseling Week. Posters were displayed on the hallway wall. Thank you Director for the great orchids!
Angel Ly, one of the great 7th grade students, made this art piece for my office. This looks great on my wall and also motivates visitors with its bright colors and the words.
Students love to visit and have a seat on these "cool" chairs. Emoji pillows are favorites of many kids... Squishy question cubes and conversation starter cards are great for the visitors who don't know where to start or need a little time to break the ice!
Some students open up and communicate more effectively when they are able to “play” with something instead of focusing completely on me. This little chalk board and chalks are probably my favorite thing in my office. As long as they are listening and paying attention, I allow students to draw.
My huge goal setting poster helps kids set up SMART goals. We create a road map together to help them reach their destinations. Because we know that a goal without a plan is just a wish...
These fidget toys and stress balls (squishy faces) works great, especially when my visitors are anxious. These little things work wonders with younger kids.
Hospitality team organizes monthly/bimonthly birthday parties to celebrate teachers and staff birthdays. Thank you Hospitality team!
Appearance
Would you mind to tell me why our appearance matters so much? Why it is so important weather we have an old black backpack or a Micheal Kors clutch? Why must such things define us? Things like if our wallet is filled with money or filled with dust. Weather these are things we can change or things we are born with Like the pigment of our skin, the color we inherit determine the way we live Is this who you are, is this who we are? These are the things that determine who we are at heart. But these accusations, there all lies They hide who we really are inside The color of our eyes, the length of our hair, the accent in our voice or weather we walk around our feet bare. Must we rely on pieces of pigmented paper? Because I assure you these things won't matter later. We are all judged on what is on our face To realize we are all part of one race, the human race It doesn't matter who you are, Indian, Arab, Caucasian, African American, British or Dutch So would you mind telling me why our appearance matter so much? Walls Our walls stand up high Too high to fight We wear disguise Tell a thousand lies But what is the point? It makes no sense It makes them like us more, makes us love us less Do you ever wonder why we do it? Why we are so worried about if we fit in? It is becasue we are scared To stand out if we dared We are forced to compare Till our emotions are stripped bare As tears coat our face Humiliation starts to take place They keep their eyes on you Making you feel like a fool Your heart slowly going black Your breath starts to lack You run, we run, that's how it goes Nobody ever has time alone You decide to make it halt, to make it stop You let it all go, you let it all drop You are different, you are you, it is easy tell Everyone stops and the walls all fell This is it, this is you Now its their turn to feel like a fool The walls are destroyed, they are all gone Now you know, it is all done. |
