I currently have to teach five 45 min classes per week (1 per day) for 7th and 8th graders. As I am a new counselor, I do not a lot of personal money, am not provided with resources (ie from a former counselor) and there is no budget given to me to use on curriculum and/or resources. Does anyone have any suggestions for free or inexpensive lessons that they believe work great for classroom guidance? I have been looking a lot online with minimal success. I feel that I am at a constant struggle to gather resources that will be both effective and engaging. PLEASE help! Thanks!
