  1. Hello, first graders.
  2. My name is Miss Rachel, and I'm the school counselor
  3. here. It Stedman Elementary.
  4. And I wanted to take a little time to pop
  5. into your class and let you know a little bit
  6. about my job.
  7. So what do I do?
  8. How can I be helpful while I'm here?
  9. A tw school.
  10. So I have been hearing that there are some first
  11. graders that really like dinosaurs.
  12. So I brought along with me Davey, Dino, Davey Dino
  13. is a baby dinosaur, and we're going to be reading
  14. a story with dinosaurs in it.
  15. So I thought it would be a good time to
  16. bring along Davey Dino Before we go into the story,
  17. I want to take just a moment to think about
  18. what kind of dinosaur would you be if you could
  19. be any kind of dinosaur?
  20. So if you could be a dinosaur, what kind of
  21. dinosaur would you be?
  22. I'll go first.
  23. Who? If I could be any kind of dinosaur, I
  24. would like to be a brontosaurus.
  25. I just think they look friendly and nice.
  26. And I know that if I was dinosaur, I'd want
  27. to be surrounded by other dinosaurs.
  28. That air friendly and nice.
  29. And so being a brontosaurus and hanging out with other
  30. brontosaurus is it sounds like a good plan for me.
  31. All right, Just a moment.
  32. We can pause the video and you can share If
  33. you could be any kind of dinosaur.
  34. What kind of dinosaur would it be?
  35. Listen, all right.
  36. I hope that you have all had a chance.
  37. Thio, talk about what kind of dinosaur you would like
  38. to be.
  39. And we are going to get started on our story.
  40. Yeah, The story is called counts.
  41. Flores counts.
  42. Flores is a dinosaur that helps dino students with lots
  43. of different things.
  44. Can you read what it says on council lorises heart
  45. There? I help Council.
  46. Laurus is there when Dino students have big feelings that
  47. they need help understanding or managing.

  50. Those are some big feelings and council Oris can help.
  51. Yeah, yeah, council Or is is there When Dino students
  52. have problems, they need toe workout.

  90. such as goal setting, problem solving, self esteem and more.
