Transform unexpected behaviors into learning opportunities using social stories and games. This post walks through why kids may not know expected behavior and offers how to craft playful, visual stories and group games to teach school rules, transitions, and routines, making behavior learning engaging, clear, and supportive for students and educators.

Build trust and help students feel comfortable by introducing yourself and your role. This post shares four fun, grade‑appropriate activities, like using Mrs. Potato Head, a Counselor Toolbox, game show quizzes, and true/false team challenges, that invite students to guess what a counselor does and clear up misconceptions in a playful, memorable way. A printable handout helps families learn too.

Start by decluttering and identifying the pieces you truly love and wear. Build your capsule with quality staples like tees, midi skirts, tailored trousers, and layering pieces. Mix these with seasonable additions around your personal style. The goal? A simplified, versatile wardrobe that fits your educator or counselor role, and reduces morning outfit stress.
