Below you will find a list of the K-5 Lessons in the South Brunswick School District Counseling Curriculum
For more information on the concepts covered and Social Emotional Skills being taught in each lesson, I have provided details on my Parent Communication page. I encourage you to follow the link to the Parent Communication page on the menu bar to the left.
My Social Emotional Learning page has links from the New Jersey Department of Education for more information on SEL. Please let me know if you are looking for any other resources to reinforce these skills at home and I will be happy to provide you with some fun suggestions:)
