"There are many roles in the school counselor position. We wear so many hats! I believe one of the most important roles is helping children (individually, in small groups, and in whole class settings) practice social and emotional skills. Some of my favorite themes are: Kindness, Whole Body Listening, and The Power of Yet." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

This week is National School Counseling Week! This week we hope to focus on the unique contribution our School Counselors have upon the public school system. School counselors are so important to our school buildings, and we would like to introduce you to ours, Mrs. Sheila Urbonas. When asked what influenced her to become a school counselor, she replied, "After being a first grade teacher and special education teacher for over twenty years, I thought I wanted to leave the education field. I received my masters in counseling from Southern Nazarene University with the plan to work for a counseling agency. I worked in that field for a short time, but really missed the education setting. I missed the camaraderie of working alongside educators and being in a building full of children. Becoming a school counselor is the best of both worlds!"

Mrs. Ward's first grade class has a classroom spider plant named "Spidey." Spider plants put off runners that grow smaller plants that when put in water grow roots and can be replanted! Spidey has grown enough that 16 plants have been harvested and put in water to root. Some students have already been able to take their very own spider plants home - while others will be bringing them throughout the rest of the week!

Today, January 27th, is the anniversary of when the last Nazi concentration camp was liberated. Since 2005, it has been known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Remembrance of the Holocaust teaches us that humanity can survive unimaginable horrors. Personal strength and the will to live carried Holocaust survivors on until their rescue at the end of the war. It's a reminder that no evil is more powerful than the human spirit.

4th graders attended a mini-lesson given by Mrs. Troyer our Library Media Specialist, where they learned research skills for their upcoming informational report. Students brainstormed keywords for their topic, learned about different website domains and which were more likely to be a good resource, and also learned about using Boolean operators when searching for information for their reports.
