Press release from Islip School District: Feb. 9, 2021 Counselor Sara Comiskey recently presented a self-awareness lesson to Shannon Dignam's third-grade class at Islip's Commack Road Elementary School, helping the students gain a better understanding of themselves by thinking about and discussing their personal strengths, challenges, values, emotions and hopes. After the lesson, the students made "fortune tellers," choosing questions from a list of categories. Once the fortune tellers were complete, the third graders played the game with their classmates and discussed the questions inside. "When students are self-aware, they learn to manage their thoughts and emotions, make responsible decisions, develop relationships, and set goals for themselves," Comiskey said.
