During the school year I will be visiting with third grade classes to introduce and cover a variety of topics. The guidance lessons have been presented in accordance with our Character Education Program and/or along the guidelines of the Virginia Standards for School Counseling Programs.

• Study Skills - We will spend two weeks working together on how to become a better “test taker” and how to improve our study skills. We will go over some important tips on self organization, as well as examine how we study and how to improve upon our study habits. Students will be bringing home a packet of information with suggestions and ideas for improving their skills.
• Prejudice and Discrimination - Students will acquire an understanding of these subjects and discuss the principles of respect towards others. We will review the different types of handicaps and tour the building in an effort to understand n the diversity of our population.

If you have any questions about the above materials, or other concerns that I might be of help with, please contact me.
