One
of the favorite parts of my job is to go into the classrooms each month and
teach lessons that support the Howard County Public Schools guidance
curriculum, the National Standards for School Counseling, and the needs of
T.R.E.S. students. I schedule a
classroom lesson every month in all classes grades K 5. These lessons provide an opportunity
for me to interact with all students.
It is very rewarding to meet the kindergartners as five-year-olds and
watch them grow over the years into poised and accomplished fifth graders ready
for middle school. Listed below
you will find some of the topics to be covered in each of the grades. If you ever have any questions or
ideas, please donšt hesitate to call the school and ask for Mrs. Lollis.
