Classroom counseling is also done in first grade on identifying feelings and respecting others' feelings. In second grade, the curriculum is for identifying strangers and how to keep yourself safe. Third and fifth grade counseling curriculum is to help understand how each person is different and to learn to be the best ME you can be. Fourth grade stresses relationships and getting along at home and school with others.
