Refreshed What were some things you did over the Holiday Break that left you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated?

If you could choose ONE thing that makes you really happy that you could do more of what would it be? Answer the three questions in your journal 1.5 pages minimum 1 vocabulary word minimum.

Refreshed (discussion) What is a compass? Think of ONE word that will serve as a compass in this new year. Think back to your dreams, SMARTER goals…what will drive you towards them? Put your head down for just a moment and see the person you will become as a junior, senior, adult. What do you keep thinking, hearing, seeing…what word comes up for you?
