Decision Making
What is Decision Making...
When ever you do need to make a decision or choice, be sure you are calm. Students when making decisions, especially MAJOR decisions, you want to be in the "upstairs part of your brain." Do you recall this advisory lesson on "Flipping Your Lid"? If not, here is a refresher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bKuoH8CkFc
Students if you would like more information on making decisions please contact KC, Kendra, or Mrs. Tantype. And remember: You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.
