Counseling Corner with Mrs. Cox: April 2020

LESSON PLAN:
This is an opportunity to talk with your child about being honest and truthful in all you say
and do. You can discuss how they should maintain strict integrity in school and at home.
Do they use money, things they have borrowed or information entrusted to them with
discretion and responsibility? Do they have courage to do the right thing? Are they a good
person of character?

to look better to others?
