Setting Goals

This year my team is really focused on making goals.  We want to help students motivate themselves to do better each day.  Many times students start the year strong, but they don't have the ability to persevere or the grit to follow through with their goals.

In an attempt to help students have more grit and determination we have created some sheets that we are going to put in their folders this year.

We have a Math Goal sheet, a Reading Goal sheet, and a Spelling Goal sheet. We are going to place these sheets in the students take home folders.  Each week we will look and see how close we were to obtaining our goals.  Was our goal to easy or too hard?  How do you make a reasonable goal?  What is the difference between a long term goal and a short term goal?  What caused you not to reach your goal?  What helped you achiever your goal?  We are hoping to help the students see that they are in charge of their own education.

We want to be able to use their charts when we meet with parents.  Hopefully we can get everyone to see how important it is to stick to your goals and become an achiever.
