    Ms. Chambers' Counselor Corner
     
    Hello Plantation family, I am your school counselor, Ms. Chambers.  I look forward to working with everyone this school year.  
     
    Mindfulness
    It isn't selfish to care about yourself. It's essential. With today's current pandemic, we are reminded of the airline instructions to "secure your own oxygen mask before helping others." Mindfulness is a great way to provide self-care to help you and your students mitigate stress and improve your sense of wellness. Daily practice is key, so aim for consistency!

    To view resources and lessons on cooperation please read below
     
    People who cooperate realize:
     
    "We can do more working together than I can do alone."
     
    "Every person has a unique contribution to make to the group."
     
    "Success is gained when everyone works together."
     
    "Two heads are better than one."
     
    "Things in life come easier if you know how to get along and cooperate with others."
     
    People show others how to cooperate by...
     
    Listening to other peoples' opinions and including others' ideas.
    Being supportive of other peoples' ideas, even when you might not agree with them.
    Cheerfully working with any partner, you are assigned so as not to hurt their feelings.
    Greeting visitors and making them feel welcome.
    Staying out of cliques.
    Taking only your fair share, when offered something.
