Goal Setting Masters!

In third grade, we have been consistently creating goals for ourselves each month this whole school year. Each month we do a different craft activity that will showcase these goals. Some of the ones we have done are 3D hearts for February, pots of gold for March, and now kites for April. Before we make our goals, we talk about setting strong, achievable goals that we can do in our personal lives and school lives. 

Students brainstormed and shared their personal and school goals with their table mates in a round robin, and helped each other create goals if someone was struggling to come up with one. Personal goals that were set were scoring two goals in their soccer game, smiling at a person every day, or doing more chores at home. School goals were set to accomplish iReady lessons, Zearn lessons, or trying hard on a specific task. They wrote two personal and two school goals after cutting out and decorating their kites. We hang them on our cabinets each month so students can see their goals every day!
