How to change your mindset

Create a Gratitude Journal - One column for date the other column for your daily gratitudes.  Start this weekend! Refer to the link above to change your mindset and be thankful!

In other homework: Research MRSA - What is its full name? Be able to explain what it is, how it is passed and what kind of infection it is classified as.  How would you go about preventing the spread of MRSA? If you are interested, try to find a cool article to share with the class for Tuesday.
