Group update! Todays topic: limbic system, attachment styles & friendships. We discussed qualities of a good friendship and what little steps we can take to build new friendships. Students were tasked with a bingo challenge to help with this! ⬇️👯‍♀️ #PWCScounseling

Ms. Osei, Ms. Borda, Ms. Arensberg, and Ms. Hernandez had a wonderful time meeting/talking/scheduling with all the rising 6th grade Raiders at Featherstone & Potomac View ES yesterday! 💚🖤 @m_brantuo @MsBorda33 Carly Arensberg @MsHernandez07 #FutureRaiders #PWCScounseling

A little snapshot of my small counseling group from the last few weeks: communication skills, team work challenges, self-reflection collages, “bad thinking” habits, and more! This week we’re diving more into the topic of the amygdala & emotional responses 🧠🎨✂️ #PWCScounseling

#PurpleUp for our military-connected students! 💜

Yay for getting back to group this week! We rounded out our last learning session with self-regulation tools, learned/practiced EFT, and made some sensory bottles! These students have soaked up so much this quarter… proud counselor moment 🙌🏼 #groupcounseling #schoolcounseling

Long overdue update on my small counseling group, but what a jam-packed 10 weeks it’s been! We wrapped our final meeting with some celebrations, reflective conversation, and a DIY stress dough. Such a pleasure planning for & teaching this group this quarter! 💚 #PWCScounseling

My people! ⭐️💚

Gotta take a quick second to express how incredibly grateful I feel to have the team of co-counselors that I do. Having one another’s backs, pitching in, and supporting each other is so so crucial. They’re the best and I appreciate them every day! 🙌🏼

A HUGE thank you to our adorable four-legged guests & their handlers from K9 Caring Angels. Our Raiders LOVED their visit with the dogs today! Rippon Middle School #PWCScounseling #TherapyDogs 💚🖤

The first of hopefully many furniture flips this summer! Excited to tap back into my creative side this summer 🔨🎨

Almost finished with the 22-23 school year and it’s been one of my favorites yet! Sharing some data and highlights 💚🧠 #PWCScounseling #schoolcounseling

Took a long enough hiatus from Twitter that it’s no longer Twitter 😂 Anywayyys… it’s been a good summer 😁

Happy #NationalSchoolCounselingWeek to our wonderful Counseling Department! 🧠💚 Each day this week, we will be featuring a different ASCA photo challenge by each of our counselors! Stay tuned.

Happy National School Counselor Week! Here’s WVU alum Carly Arsenberg with why she decided to enter the field.

Today’s group focused on study skills & test anxiety. Kids LOVED participating in the guided meditation to practice getting their mindset right for the SOLs! 🧘‍♀️Ended with some mindful coloring of test-prep strategies ✏️🧠 + the home-school connection newsletter to families ✉️🏡

It’s good to be back in the classroom! Fun little intro lesson with my 1st graders today teaching them about what a counselor does. They loved seeing what was in my “school counseling tool kit” and of course any chance to color! 🧰🧠👂🏼💙 #schoolcounseling #elementarycounselor

Mindfulness lessons this week with my handy dandy brain model! (AKA a very sophisticated bowl that I put a brain beanie over 😂) Inside Out is always a big hit too 🧠🧘🏼‍♀️ #elementaryschoolcounselor #schoolcounselinglessons
