{giveaway} *Winner Announced* "Middle School Confidential" Series and iPad App: School Counselor Blog Back to School Contest Day 10 Grand Finale!

Be Confident in Who You Are (Middle School Confidential Series) (Bk. 1)I am so excited to host the School Counselor Blog Back to School Contest, which is 10 days of daily giveaways starting September 1st and ends on September 10th!

Today is day 10, the last day of the School Counselor Blog Back to School Contest.

Real Friends vs. the Other Kind (Middle School Confidential)Today's giveaway for the School Counselor Blog Back to School Contest is the Middle School Confidential Series (Be Confident in Who You Are (Bk. 1), Real Friends vs. the Other Kind (Bk. 2), and What's Up with My Family? (Bk. 3)) and The Middle School Confidential iPad App: Be Confident in Who You Are by Annie Fox from Free Spirit Publishing.

The Middle School Confidential Series are about tough topics middle school students face.  There are three books in the series, Be Confident in Who You Are (Middle School Confidential Series) (Bk. 1), Real Friends vs. the Other Kind (Bk. 2), and What's Up with My Family? (Bk. 3). The Middle School Confidential Series are filled with quotes from real students, tips, quizes, and resources. The Middle School Confidential Series are styled like a graphic novel which makes them fun and engaging.

What's Up with My Family? (Middle School Confidential)
Students absolutely love the Middle School Confidential Series.  I have used the The Middle School Confidential Series with students in 5-8 grade in individual counseling and group counseling.  I could see the potential for using the books for classroom lessons.

The Middle School Confidential iPad App: Be Confident in Who You Are is very cool. On the The Middle School Confidential: Be Confident in Who You Are iPad app page you can view screen shots of the app and a demo. The app can be viewed landscape or portrait, can be viewed zoomed in or full page, and has great sounds and effects. I haven't used the app with students yet, but it would be really cool to get a VGA adapter for the iPad and project it during a classroom lesson.

The Free Spirit website has tons of free downloads related to the Middle School Confidential series including A Leaders Guide to the Middle School Confidential Series, a Meet the Students of Milldale Page, and a parenting podcast by Annie Fox Family Confidential: Secrets to Successful Parenting.

Below is a book trailer for the Middle School Confidential Series.

Take What You Need, Give What You Can Sticky Note Board

Image
Last year, I saw a lot of "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" Bulletin Boards popping up everywhere. I decided to fuel my new found love of printing on sticky notes and make a sticky note version. The idea behind the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" board is that you take a positive message that you "need" to hear or "give" (write) a positive or uplifting message for someone else to take. I displayed the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board on a window near the school counseling office. A traditional bulletin board could also be used to display this sticky note board.  I created 18 different positve messages to print on sticky notes for the "Take What You Need" side of the board. To make this "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board, you will need the following items: A printer Printer paper to print the sticky...

FREE Career Interest Games and Inventories on VA Career View

Image
I have been searching for fun and interactive career activities to facilitate with students this year. I rediscovered  Virginia Career View , which has a wealth of computer based and printable career activities. I have used this website many times, but each time I visit I am surprised by how truly awesome this site is. In the K-5 Section of  Virginia Career View  there is an interactive game called  Career Town ! I used the  Career Town  game with some 5th grade students last year and they loved it. Career Town has three levels with different games to learn about jobs on each level.  The  Career Town  has an educators guide  for each "level' of the game. The  educators guide  has ideas of how you can utilize the game to meet standards and includes ideas for extension activities.  In the 6-8 Grade section, there is a career cluster assessment activity called "Who R U?" . It is web-based. The Vi...

Spring Mindfulness Bulletin Board with QR Codes

Image
I created this colorful, interactive, spring bulletin board for our March & April PBIS theme, mindfulness. I made this bulletin board interactive for students by adding QR Codes with different mindfulness activities. Since most things need to be touch-less right now, I thought using QR Codes would be an easy way for students to access some mindfulness activities. If you are not familiar with QR Codes, QR stands for Quick Response. QR Codes are scannable with a smart device camera (iPad, tablet, or smart phone). you can easily make your own QR codes by using a QR Code generator. You can link the QR Code to a website or online document. When the user scans the QR Code they will be directed to the link. I used  QR Code Generator  to create the QR Codes.  I got the idea for this bulletin board while looking for mindfulness resources. I stumbled upon a New York Times article about "Pinwheel Breathing." This sent me down a rabbit hole of brainstormin...
