RES Rocket Weekly
February 4th - February 8th
B Week
Character Education and Mindset
February Mindset Focus: A Goal without a Plan is Just a Wish!
Honesty means being truthful, sincere, and fair -
in what we chose to say, what we chose to not say, and more importantly in our daily actions!
When we have goal - it is critical to make a plan to accomplish our goal -
being honest in what we need to do, and what we need help with,
are essential components of planning to achieve our goal!
