Who was the educator that made you become an educator?
Grief Counseling
Here are a few of my favorite books from Barnes and Noble
to help kids understand and deal with grief, death, and loss.
Tragedy
These past few days, I have been glued to the television watching coverage of the horrific event that happened at Newtown, CT. As a school counselor, I cannot fathom the magnitude of this. I cannot imagine dealing with such an event, and pray that something like this never occurs. Not just at my school, but at any school.
ASCA has a great site for resources on Grief Counseling
http://www.schoolcounselor.org/content.asp?contentid=672
I would encourage you to visit and donate to one of the many sites that have been set up for donations. The donations will help families for funeral expenses, counseling, and many other needed things.

My Son
A simple conversation with my son, Braxtyn (6 years old):
Braxtyn: Mom, I've been thinking about who I will marry.
Me: Really? Because I think you are a little young!
Braxtyn: How do I choose?
Me: One day you will know who to marry. Only God knows right now. Mom, Dad, and God just want it to be a good Christian girl.
Braxtyn: A Good Christian Girl that is beautiful!
Long pause....
Braxtyn: And if she is rich, then that is even better!
What am I up to these days?

Pumpkin Feelings
This past week my Kindergarten student's talked about feelings.
I read the book
By Janan Cain {Amazon Link}
We discussed feelings we have when we are Bucket Fillers and Bucket Dippers.
Students then created a Pumpkin Feeling Book.
Here is the link I found from jmeacham.com
of a cute
Pumpkin Book perfect for Kindergarteners!
