Hello Creekside Families!
Small Groups One way I support student development here at Creekside is through small groups. Groups provide students with the opportunity to build their self-esteem, develop effective communication skills, identify positive characteristics and make positive peer connections. Groups are a safe environment to openly discuss and practice social skills and strategies. Friendship Group I’m currently offering friendship groups for 1st and 2nd graders. Friendship groups take place weekly during lunchtime. All students in these grades will have the opportunity to join this group for a session during the next couple months. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like your student to participate. New Student Lunch Group This group meets monthly and is open to any students that are new to Creekside this school year. The group meets every first Tuesday or Wednesday of the month on the stage during lunch. Here are the upcoming dates we will be meeting:
De-Stress this Season This time of year can often be busy and stressful. It is important to find time to rest, relax and have fun. Even finding 5 minutes to read a book, take a break or do a mindfulness activity can go a long way towards decreasing our stress. This year I have been teaching all students about mindfulness. Students are practicing a mindfulness technique each week during our Monday morning announcements. Click on the links below to view my mindfulness videos at home. These videos can also be found on my website. As always, please feel free to reach out if your student or family needs support. Take care, Lauren Hopp, M.Ed (she/her/hers) Counselor Creekside Elementary Call: 425-837-5208 [email protected]
