About the Author
Lynne Watts
Overworked and overwhelmed with the many responsibilities of the elementary school counselor job? Dedicated to developing lessons that matter on social emotional learning and leadership?
I understand.
As a school counselor for twenty years in Canton, Georgia, I helped hundreds of students solve problems much like the ones that Wyatt solves in the Wyatt the Wonder Dog books. My goal is to provide grab and go lessons that teach important life skills like empathy, growth mindset, mindfulness and organizational skills. All the lessons are aligned with ASCA standards while engaging students with meaningful story themes and activities.
You have an important job to do as you nurture and grow tomorrow's leaders. Wyatt the Wonder Dog Books and Lesson Plan series can help.
