🎾 Good Luck Tennis at the Bi District Tournament! #TTBL
ECHS AVID classes discussed how self-perception can differ from the way others see us. The students participated in an activity where they taped a paper plate to their backs and their classmates wrote comments and positive messages anonymously on every plate. Once the students read all of the comments they wrote a reflection on how their self perception differed from their classmates. This was a great lesson on thinking positive about yourself!
