I will reflect on what I’ve learned so far this semester and identify one meaningful step I can take this week to finish with clarity and confidence.
The week before a holiday break is messy for everyone.
Energy dips, schedules shift, and brains drift.
Grounding ourselves now helps us finish the week with intention instead of stress.
Professionals do this all the time — pausing during busy seasons to reset, reflect, and refocus.
“Name one thing—academic or personal—that surprised you in a good way this semester.”
Students write quietly for 2–3 minutes, then share if they want.
This soft open settles the room.
