The New Year brings SUPER IMPROVERS!
Students in 1L have started off the New Year with POSITIVITY! We made individualized goals that help us to succeed in first grade. Some of our goals focus on behavior, others are academic, others involve social skills. Regardless of the goals, students are working towards earning stars on their charts for proving progress towards their unique goals. The best part about this new system is that progress is only positive! We all start off as beginners, but as we move up the ladder of improvement we learn more and more! I really hope to have a Living Legend this year, so encourage your learners to KNOW their goals and be able to prove HOW they worked on their goal each day.
Positivity we have!
We have also discussed how difficult it can be to feel progress is being made on a goal. So in jumping on our school-wide spirit door contest, we used our classroom door to express how positivity, inner confidence, and "The Force," can keep us going even when it feels really hard. Each child made "I will..." statements to add to our door to show how committed they were to their goal, even if it was going to take a lot of work to accomplish!
May the Force be with you!
Love,
Mrs. L
