🌟 Counselor Corner Update 🌟 This week, Mrs. Farmer and Mrs. Barnes are visiting with all of our students to learn about the Circle of Control. The Circle of Control helps students understand the difference between things we can control and things that are out of our control. This skill is an important part of building resilience, managing emotions, and focusing energy in positive ways. 💡 ✅ What’s in our control? • 😊 Our attitude • 🤔 Our choices • 🗣 Our words • 🧠 Our effort • 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽How we treat others ❌ What’s out of our control? • 👥 Other people’s actions or choices • 🌦 The weather • ⏳ The past • 💭 What others say or think • 🎲 Unexpected events By recognizing what they can control, students are better able to let go of what they can’t—leading to less frustration and healthier coping skills. 💙 📣 We encourage you to talk with your child at home this week about their Circle of Control and how they can practice focusing on the things within it! 🏡💬 — Mrs. Farmer & Mrs. Barnes 💙
