Today i went to UES for the first time. I got there and signed in. I had to wait a little while for Ms. Baker to come and get me. On the way up to her room she told me about the lunch group that she does with kids who have problems being around a bunch of other people and need to be reminded to eat. Today I met Charlie who is a 2nd grader. She also showed me what her daily schedule looks like and how most people don't realize everything that a elementary school guidance counselor does. She was, for the most part, booked all day every day. With Charlie we talked about his highs and lows of the week and how his day was going. We took a timed 3 minutes break where there was no talking so he could just eat. After he ate we played a game of UNO. According to him he won. During the game she tries to incorporate some lessons. They are very competitive and joke around a lot while playing. She told him how if we don't know someone and what they think is funny, then something we say could hurt their feelings. He showed us what his face looks like when someone says something to hurt his feelings. She also gave me a website i could check out that explains what a guidance counselor should be doing. I go back tomorrow. We decided i would go monday, tuesday, and thursdays of every week.
Today i spent 1 hour there.
