Did you know reflection is the most important part of the learning process? Harvard Business School did a study and found that people who reflect on their work perform significantly better in all tasks than those that do not.
This week, we will be reflecting on all of our units and the concepts we learned about this year. We will revisit our essential questions and discuss how each unit links together.
Chat about the following list of concepts and essential questions with your child. I've attached a great list of 40 reflection questions to help spur conversation.
