New Resources

Attention other school counselors:
I have some school money that I haven't spent yet this year, and I have been browsing the counseling resource catalogs, quite excitedly, I might add.  Here is my list of possibilities that definitely needs to be narrowed down significantly.  PLEASE COMMENT...Have you used any of these? Do you recommend them? Did you find any of them not so helpful?  What other resources would you suggest I look into purchasing??

        

The Good Mourning Game

Please provide some input on these and other resources you suggest! :) Thanks!

Positive Frame to Promote Self Esteem

This is a wonderful idea to use with students to help promote positive self talk and build self esteem.  I made this frame as an example while one of my kiddos made one.  I put a picture of the student in the frame and she decorated it with cute foam stickers.  Then, we talked about some positive words/phrases she could tell herself when she is feeling down.  She wrote things like..."I'm popular," good singer," and "smart." She is going to put her frame in her room and look at it as a reminder for how wonderful she is.

 I bought foam frames from Walmart. They come 2/pk and cost about $2.50. I also bought foam stickers to decorate them with. This was such a simple, fun project that I think will have a long term impact on students who make them!
