As the year comes to a close and people gather with family and friends to celebrate the holidays, it's a perfect time to reflect on the past year. It's also a time to develop those January resolutions (I don't call them New Years resolutions because they never last past January...) But most importantly it is a time to relax and prepare for the 2nd half of the school year! Those students will return ready to learn (or jump off the walls from their sugar high that hasn't gone away). Think of a way to harness that energy and put their holiday hangover to good use during the month of January! (remember it's only two weeks till a 3-day weekend, 6 weeks until another week's vacation!)
