Julia Cook

Favorite Children’s Books for Counseling and Guidance

Julia Cook – Every, single one of them!  Buy them…. They are worth it!

I had the HONOR of listening to Julia Cook at the counseling conference, and it was amazing.  She is fun, full of energy, and has wonderful stories to tell (of course!!!)

She has several new books coming out very soon, that we were able to get sneak peaks of!  Yes, she literally finished a book the night before, and read it to us from notebook paper!  HONOR!  She is inspirational.

Stand Tall!

Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell

I use this book every year, and often with different topics.  This past week I used the book with my elementary students to discuss Diversity.  Students learned the importance of being tolerant of others, that we need to be respectful and accepting of others, and that it is okay to be different.  I then ended the lesson with a fun ART lesson.  Students used old crayons to create new ones in muffin tins.  We mixed everyone’s crayons together, broke them, melted them, and let them get hard again to create a new RAINBOW crayon.  We then revisited the lessons objective.  We are all different, but we can be mixed together to create unity and diversity!
