Description
This companion lesson to the story “The Rabbit Listened” by Cori Doerrfeld teaches students about the role of the school counselor.
✨ Just like the rabbit who helped Taylor in the story, school counselors listen, love, help, support, care about our feelings, and stay by our side. Kids LOVE and really relate to this story as it helps explain the role of the school counselor on their level.
❤️ THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:
✅ Digital for Google Slides™ presentation that summarizes the story, relates the rabbit in the story to the role of the school counselor, and includes interactive drag-and-drop and text box activities.
✅ PowerPoint presentation that teaches the same material, but does not include the interactive digital pieces.
✅ Printable posters that can be used as teaching tools and display in your office all year long!
✅ Adorable hat that students can decorate and wear to share the role of the school counselor with their school and home community!
✅ Differentiated craft activity (coloring-only version and writing version) that would make a cute hallway display or bulletin board!
✅ Assorted coloring pages
✅ Customizable materials – choose the race and gender for the school counselor image that looks the most like you! (2 races and 2 genders to choose from)
✅ All materials available in full color and black/white
Educators Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This is the BEST first lesson! This book was already one of my favorite books, and when I saw this prepared lesson, I just knew I had to try it out. It was perfect! My students loved it and really connected to the message of the book like I hoped they would. A fantastic, well-prepared resource. I have some of these coloring pages and completed rabbit templates hanging outside of my classroom and everyone loves them as well!”

“THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SEL LESSONS!!! The feedback from my students and my supervisor (I used this lesson during my observation) were great. This lesson really touches on our role and the kids still identify with it by giving me “hearts” when they see me in the hallway.” – Chyna G.
