The Counselor's Corner:

PCES students are enjoying learning about the character word of the week which is uniqueness.  The goals for this week are to:

PS:A1.1  Develop positive attitudes toward self as a unique and worthy person.

PS:A1.9  Demonstrate cooperative behavior in groups.

PS:A2.6  Use effective communication skills.

Students are amazed when they realize that they are truly unique and no one has their exact DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid):  Hair, Fingerprints, Blood, et cetera.

Students are enjoying listening to the book:
It's Okay to Be Different by Todd Parr.
