January Week 1 Update

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a well rested and enjoyable break. We have a short first week back.

Mr. Duss will be away until Friday, January 17th, to recover from surgery. Mr. Byrka will be in, until then.

Some students did not present their group projects on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, prior to the break. They were scheduled to present immediately upon return from break. However, this will be postponed until Friday, January 17th. Students are expected to be prepared, since the assignment was technically due December 19th.

This week, students will be reflecting on 2019, and making New Year's Resolutions for 2020. Reflections and resolutions are to be completed on lined paper or via Google Docs and sent to jjduss@educbe.ca

Some things to think about when writing:

1.     What were some good things that happened to you in 2019?

a.     Did you have control over the good things that happened?

2.     What were some challenging situations?

a.     Did you have control over the challenging things that happened?

3.     Resolution

a.     Make a resolution for 2020. Make sure the resolution allows you to have control over its fate.

b.     Provide a minimum 3-step plan for achieving your New Year’s resolution.

c.     Identify at least 1 person that can help support you in reaching your resolution. Why did you choose that person and how can they help?
