Lesson Plan
Meet Mr. Spud Friend Lesson Plan
Introduce kindergarteners to the school counselor through a playful Mr. Potato Head activity, helping students learn who the counselor is, what they do, and how they can support them.
Building early trust and familiarity with the counselor reduces anxiety, encourages students to seek help when needed, and fosters a supportive classroom community.
