We had our own New Year's celebration in the classroom last week! We put on our festive hats and talked about how lots of grown-ups make resolutions at the beginning of a new year. We discussed how a resolution is just a fancy word for a goal, and that even kids should have goals, especially at school. Using our last report cards to help, I met with the children and we picked one or two goals that they wanted to accomplish for the next trimester of school. The children had lots of great ideas! For instance, some wanted to finish all of their addition combinations on xtramath, while others wanted to make sure to always turn in homework or to be able to count money more easily. We then taped the goals onto our desks so we could refer back to them over the next couple of months.
