Goal Setting
This month many of my guidance lessons have centered around goal setting. This is a great time of year to talk to your students about their strengths and weaknesses. Create a plan for success together and check-in on progress frequently. For younger students, it is helpful to start by setting goals that can be accomplished in a 1-2 day period. For older students (grades 4-5), you can focus on longer periods of time, such as the end of the marking period.
It may also be helpful for your student to know of a goal you are working towards. You can model for them how you reflect on your progress and how important it is to never give up. My first graders had the chance to watch a great music video by Bruno Mars about never giving up! If you would like to view it click the link below (the video is streamed through YouTube).
If you would like some goal setting worksheets to complete with your student or other resources that might be helpful (such as children's books) feel free to contact me!
