Dear Santa!

By Hero's Journey Academy

Session 4, Week 3, Year 2

Let’s Reflect!

The Eagles spend the week reflecting on what they learned during this quest from character traits they developed to new and interesting facts that ignited curiosity. Self-reflection is what’s called an “executive function skill,” which means a mental skill that helps them manage yourself and allows them to process their actions.
