In kindergarten, we often discuss and plan our individual goals in order to make progress in all areas of school. Today, we connected the new year to our goal writing! We discussed what resolutions were and that many people make new year's resolutions. Many students have heard their parents setting their goals for the new year, but they did not realize that they could make their own.
As a class, we brainstormed four different areas of school in which we could set goals. The students decided that we should create goals for reading, math, writing, and a personal goal. After we decided on each area, the students shared ideas that we could use as goals. For reading, many students mentioned using letter sounds to read or learning all of the kindergarten sight words. We continued to share ideas such as counting to 100, learning how to add and subtract, writing stories about animals, and writing neater. My favorite was hearing the ideas for personal goals. "Keep my room clean." "Learn how to ride a bike." "Learn how to tie my shoes by myself." "Be able to get my own cereal for breakfast." We love being able to do things independently!!!
Now that we had created a list of ideas, it was time for our buddies to come help us record and choose our individual goals. Our 6th grade buddies had prepared the 2018 flip book which is a fun way for us to record our goals for the year. Our buddies helped us to record our four goals under each of the numbers of 2018. We couldn't have done it all without the help of our wonderful learning buddies! They made it so much more fun, and helped to ensure that we set a goal that was 'just right' for us!
