Reflection: Relationship Skills

1. 3 Finger Check-in

• 3 fingers you feel like I can pass and I can teach others

• 2 fingers you feel like you understand passing but need more practice

• 1 finger you want more one-on-one help to improve

2. Why is it important that we keep trying even if we aren't good at something at first? How can you help your teammates who are learning?
