Ryan Chambers discussed our sales strategy options with scrubs. All of the students will try to sell 10 jars during Thanksgiving, then we will decide on Monday what our next steps will be.
Your mind is more powerful than you may know. We illustrated this with having the students keeping their hands and arms still, but willing the paperclip to move with just brainpower. Try it, it works! 

We discussed the importance of positive self-talk. Each student then wrote down what they appreciated about their fellow students.
