At morning meeting we had a great class discussion on how the past couple of weeks have felt with impending projects due. Many students expressed that they learned the importance of trying to plan ahead and realized the benefit of working on small parts of a project over several days instead of waiting until last minute. I am always impressed with the students' reflective thinking and willingness to share their thoughts and feelings with each other.
