There are lots of great ideas on the internet, which I've posted on my Pinterest board.
But there aren't too many products that are simple enough to use with kindergarteners. So, I was inspired to create a quick little freebie for those of us in the younger grades! I thought this would be a nice simple visual way to make goal setting a less daunting task for kindergarteners.
One way to use this would be to give each student a goal checklist weekly or monthly. Have students choose 3 goals from the picture sheet, then cut and paste their goals onto their goal sheet. At the end of the week or month have students check off whether they accomplished the goal or still need to work on it. Then they will choose new goals for the next month. You could have students tape their goal sheet to their desk or keep it in a folder. The important thing is that they are revisiting it frequently to monitor their goals and keep track of their accomplishments. You can also keep these for parent conferences or send them home to keep parents informed of their child's progress.
I'd love to hear more ideas for goals I can add to the chart. Please comment if there's something you'd like me to add. Click one of the images below for your FREEBIE

ReplyDeleteI am so excited that I found your blog!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this awesome resource!

ReplyDeleteWhen you print the "I Can" picture cards, do you print enough so that each child has their own set? I've printed my own colored set to laminate to use whole group ("This is what we're doing today...etc"), but how do you use them with the students individually?
I love the checklist above with "accomplished" and "still improving" so students can be responsible for whether or not they've mastered the skill/reached the goal. The download it links to does not contain that goal sheet, though. Is it possible to get a copy of the one posted? Thanks! :)
