There are some weeks between the Thanksgiving break and the winter break. Mentally it is a confusing time. What should I start? What can I put off? Is there sufficient time? This can be a tempting let down period.
Seniors should have the majority of their college aps in. For the other three grades it is a time In between. But it can make or break a grade point average. Once we get back from winter break there is not sufficient time to recoup all the lost opportunities. These are the four weeks to catch up. These are the weeks to make certain that grade is nailed down and solid.
There just are not that many school (work) days in December. Then the year changes and the end of the semester is looming right there. So now is the time to focus. Get the stuff done and turned in. Check to see what still needs to be mastered. What paper is left outstanding?
All the winter sports are now in full swing. Sadie's dance yet to happen. Clubs are off and running. This is a great time in the high school experience. But stay focused on the real work of learning and doing your best. Don't get caught in the lull.
