Small Groups are meeting now. I have finished classroom guidance lessons of Talk It Out so now I can meet with small groups. We meet once a week for a half hour each time. The small groups last for about 6-8 weeks. The teachers refer students to the groups. We cover such topics as Friendship Skills, Anger Management, Social Skills, etc. We even have a group that call themselves "The Worriers!"
This is such a great time for the kids to work on issues in a smaller setting. They get a chance to speak and be heard. I give them assignments to work on during the week and then we check in and see how things are progressing. We tend to bond very easily and not want to leave the group! I feel I gain so much by being with these kids - I learn more than they do!
