A January Refresh is intended to get your learners back into school mode after the holiday break.  Having student of all ages reflect on improvements they can make is always a good idea.  Starting a brand-new year is the beginning of a fresh new start. It’s time to reflect on ourselves and decide how we can make changes to keep improving to be the best we can be.  You can put together your January Refresh Plan by deciding what lessons your students will need to get back into ‘school mode’.  Helping students understand the process of creating new year's resolutions and action steps for evolving to become better is always a good idea.  From here you could put together a series of lessons to help guide readers into getting back into school mode when it comes to reading.  These lessons should guide them back into preparing to read a text, talk about the text and analyze text.
