check-in with students after winter break
I want to know how your break was, and what your plans are for the next few weeks of the semester.
What did you spend the most time doing over your break?
Did you receive any presents that you're really excited about?
Are you excited to come back to school?
Are you happy with your grade in science right now? (Look up your grade if you don't know what it is.)
What is your plan for raising your grade if you'd like to?
What is your motivation for raising your grade?
If I encounter a difficult time in getting the grade I want in this class, what will I do to overcome it?
