Objectives:
  • Meet the School Counselor
  • Learn about the role of the school counselor
Standards:
  • Create relationships with adults that support success
Materials:
  • School Counselor Toolbox (plastic toolbox full of the below items)
  • Worksheet
  • Parent Letter​
Directions:
Introduce yourself to the class. Use the School Counselor Toolbox to facilitate a conversation about what a counselor does. Let students take turns coming up and picking an item and share why they think I might have it in my toolbox. (remind students that not everyone will get a turn)
  1. Elephant - Big ears to listen with
  2. Heart - care about everyone
  3. Tissues - to dry up tears
  4. Bandaids - to help when you are hurting
  5. Dory - to remind you you can do it if you “just keep swimming”
  6. Lock - I keep your secrets, unless someone will get hurt
  7. Puzzle- I am here to help you solve your problems
  8. Eraser - To fix mistakes
  9. Elsa - to help you learn to “let it go”
  10. Emoji cup - I can help you learn to “cup” (cope) with your emotions
  11. Rice Krispy Treat - It is always a treat to come see me, you are never in trouble
  12. Turtle - Because I like turtles and I want to learn about what you like.
Let students know examples of how they might see me. In a group, one-on- one, or in the class. Let students know that they can ask their teacher to come see me. If I am with another student or meeting with other adults, ask your teacher to send me an email and I will come get you as soon as I can. Pass out worksheet and have students draw their favorite part of school counselor’s job.
* I have also supplemented this lesson by starting with the story Mrs Joyce Gives the Best High Fives: Introducing the School Counselor by Erainna Winnett 

4 Heart:
This lesson helps students to understand the role of a school counselor and learn the numerous ways I am here to support them. The drawings pull my heart strings as I see what parts of my job they like best.
