Month of April 2026
Happy Spring, Kila Families!
Although the warmer weather makes us think it's springtime, we all know that, being from Montana, winter will likely linger for a few more weeks or even months. March flew by, and I can't believe it's already April!
This month, we will focus on topics such as positive sportsmanship, learning styles, study skills, test anxiety, and innovation/imagination.
The middle schoolers have wrapped up their brain unit and will soon learn how they learn best.As students, we each have different strategies for studying effectively. In middle school, we will explore effective study techniques and ways to enhance our study skills.
Across all grade levels, we will also learn about teamwork, positive sportsmanship, and being good winners and losers in games. Sportsmanship is a social skill that comes more naturally to some than others.
Please take the time to talk with your student(s) about the examples of good and bad sportsmanship they observe at school.
Discuss their options when they witness unsportsmanlike behavior and encourage them to consider how they can support their friends.
Note: My individual counseling caseload is filling up quickly! If you are interested in signing your student up for counseling sessions, please fill out a counseling referral form or speak with your student's teacher. Please note that school counseling is typically short-term; I usually schedule students for 6-8 weeks. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need support or resources.
