SBE Counselor Connection

Sonal Bhuchar Elementary April 2025

Message from the Counselor

Our core value this month is cooperation. Cooperation is a vital skill that helps students build positive relationships, work effectively in teams, and solve problems together. When children learn to listen to others, share ideas, and compromise, they develop important social-emotional skills that will benefit them in school and beyond. Encouraging cooperation in the classroom and at home fosters a sense of belonging and teamwork, helping students feel valued and respected. Whether working on a group project, playing a game, or helping a friend, learning cooperation reinforces empathy, patience, and collaboration. By promoting these skills daily, we can help our students grow into kind, responsible, and successful individuals. Counseling lessons this month in grades PK-2nd will focus on learning to assertively communicate boundaries and respect the boundaries of others. 3rd-5th grade students will be learning about Cybersafety. We will also discuss ways to use technology responsibly and respectfully. Thank you for supporting these lessons at home.

Come to school on time
Think Positively—They have got this!
