Thank you! I wasn't sure if I wanted to explore school counseling in a middle school but I really liked the social/emotional piece Mary described. What are the blocks the students were using at the table? It looks like they had some writing on them and I'm just wondering if they are some kind of counseling tool.

Am I the only one who's going to a 7-8 middle school instead of 6-8?

My school district used to have 7-8, but they just changed to 6-8 lol.
