Shadowing a Counselor

Tomorrow morning, from 8-11am I'm going to be shadowing a school counselor at one of my town's elementary schools. I'm really looking forward to it because its something I know almost nothing about, save what this class has taught me and my own experiences as a child. The school houses children grades 2-5. I'm expecting to get a lot of detailed info about what a day is like for a school counselor. I know that she is a counselor who wears many hats. She's also a social worker and case manager. I think that will give me a unique perspective on her daily duties.
I'm also really hopeful that the school is air conditioned! Sounds silly, but my son's school (which is next door, where they house pre-k to 1st grade) is not, and his room is like an oven by the time I pick him up at 12:30. I don't know how the staff make it through an entire day!
