Getting Started

We're off to a great start as we enter into the second week of the new school year. Here in the Lunt guidance room we've been busy scheduling classroom guidance lessons for the year, as well as scheduling lunch with first and second grade students who are new to Lunt this year. At the start of each year, we invite small groups of new first and second grade students to bring their lunch to the guidance room a day to meet other students who are new to Lunt. We have 20 new first graders this year, and 8 new second graders. We hope to start having new students to our room for lunch next week. We'll also start teaching classroom guidance lessons in the kindergarten classrooms next week (I think Anne will even be starting one this week!). We go into the kindergarten classrooms for a guidance lesson once a week for the first six weeks of school, and then once again in Feb, as well as once in June. We go into the first and second grade classrooms once a month from September through May. We hope to start first grade classroom guidance lessons next week as well.

Aside from all the "scheduling," we've also been assisting students as they transition back to school (or transition to school for the first time!). We're happy to report that most students haven't had a difficult time at all starting out the new school year. However, if at any point you find your child is having a challenging time separating in the morning, or coming to school, please be sure to let us know. To the right we've provided a list of books that might be useful to you in helping your child adjust to school.
