Counseling Office Decor - Bright Colors with a Tropical Theme

 

I love my door this year!  I used hot glue to stick kid-sized flip flops on the door.  It says, "Welcome to the US Virgin Islands" because each classroom this year is representing a US State or territory.  I found battery-operated colored lights at At Home to hang around my door. 

 

 

Since our school has a United States theme this year, my door is decorated with a 50 states border.  I love the simple signs on this door. They help educate teachers, parents, and students about my role and my ethical values.

 

This is the student self-referral box.  Students in 2nd-5th grade can complete a referral form and put it in my mailbox.  Students check off one or more of the following reasons why they want to see me: 1) Friends  2) Home  3) My Class  4) Myself  5) Something Secret or Private

Bulletin Board Ideas for the Counseling Office

 

The above Stand Up to Bullying bulletin board is great to reference when working with either a target or a bystander.  A strategy to deal with or avoid bullying is written on each fish.   Help empower students!

 

My students sometimes spontaneously walk over to the above bulletin board to show me how they are feeling.  We can then find the corresponding, "When I feel ____, I can..." chart to discuss coping strategies.

 

 

The Presidential Tweets bulletin board ties in with our Leader in Me school-wide focus.
