THE LOREM IPSUMS FALL 2012

Counselors Corner

Are your kids Frustrated? Depressed? Easily Angered? Overwhelmed? Dealingwith deployments? I know that regardless of age, kids can hide their emotions

especially from parents and family members. Sometimes, they need a positiveoutlet, a way of sharing without feeling judged or criticized. I am implementing anew counseling group at Hawaii Technology Academy called the LUNCHBUNCH. Students can bring their lunch, relax, and discuss issues within a safegroup of their peers. We will meet every Friday at 12:00-12:30 for K-5and 12:30-1:00 for 6-8. Our first meeting is scheduled forNovember 19 in Room 4. Please email me or call me toreserve a spot if you are interested in your kids attending

this group. Remember, space is limited so please notify mefirst before having your kids attend.

Learnin Coach Corner

Tip of the Week!LOL! So we all know that the text-talk is the sign of our times. So why not use this

lingo within your learning coach approach. LOL or laugh out loud, should guide yourplanning each week. Yes, first do just as it says, LAUGH OUT LOUD! Laughing is

great for wellness.

Now we also can use LOL to focus on our weekly planning:L-Life: Make sure your family calendar is near when planning the work for your

student(s) week. This will help you maintain a realistic schedule.O OLS: The OLS provides a great tool for your scheduling. After knowing what your

LIFE schedule is like, build the weekly school schedule based on what is expected.

Remember to view your progress (k-8). OLS stays with your pace so if you need tocatch up, you need to build this in your schedule yourself.L-Learning Center: Last but not least are the learning center commitments. Be sure

your schedule incorporates the learning center attendance and work expectations.

HAPPY PLANNING!
