Last Friday, your students hopefully brought home a sea creature and told you how they grew from a capsule into the creature in glass of warm water. We did this fun, engaging activity as a way to begin thinking about goal setting for the year. Setting goals is an essential part of learning. I asked students to try to think of a specific, attainable goal for math, reading, and writing. We talked about how reading fifty books in one day was not an attainable goal, but reading 50 picture books in a month would be possible. Some students wanted to be able to decode tricky words better, others wanted to be able to read and comprehend chapter books by the end of the year. I hope they will share what their goals were with you. They are up on our bulletin board right now, but I will send them home soon, so you can see them, too! In the meantime, here are some pictures of the fun we had!
