Regardless of the goal, the goal-setter should come with a plan to try to achieve the goal. You need to think of the things you need to do to make your goal a reality. This year, one of the goals that I had for myself was to try something new to challenge my students and make their work more authentic. This is how this blog came into being. Slowly I am challenging myself with this new technology and will soon be asking my students to do the same by posting their replies online. It takes some learning on my part, and some thinking for both my students and me.
So, as we are talking about goals, what are YOUR goals for the year? What goal(s) do you have for your academic life? What are specific things you need to do to achieve this (these) goal(s)? What goals do you have for your personal life? What are specific things you need to do to achieve these goals? Let's hear about them! What goals do you think your parents might have for you?
My goals for this year is...
ReplyDelete1. To understand what I read
2. To memorize division facts
3. To learn a lot of Spanish
These are great goals. Now you need to figure out specific steps so you can achieve them. What will you do to help yourself with each of these?
DeleteMy plan is to practice reading like in the history book or from the library or read everyday things like newspapers and magazines. My plan for division facts is to some nights get out flash cards at home and go over them like 2 times. Last plan for my goals is to really give full attention in Spanish class and look in my spanish book and say the words a couple times.
DeleteMy goals for this year is to improve on my multiplication facts.
ReplyDeleteI know is a big deal in fifth grade.
My second goal is to learn a lot of spanish so I can talk to my cousin in spanish. :)

I could try to pay a lot of attention in spanish and in math.
DeleteI think that is a very good goal.
Deletemy goal for this year is to prepare well for our tests.
ReplyDeleteThe way I am going to do this is by letting my parents know as soon as I find out that I am getting one.
DeleteThat is a great goal, especially when middle school is right around the corner. ;) Just study in ways that are fun and educational, like if you are studying math, measure sugar and bake a cake, or measure out fluid ounces of soda and then drink it. ;)
DeleteMy goals for the school year is focas on my homework. I could always look at my planner before I leave school and when I'm home.

I wont to work on getting my tests right. I can study at home using flash cards. I can study with a friend at school. I can make up fun wase to study. Like making up a games for the test that helps me study.
ReplyDeleteThat would make practicing for test a lot more fun if you made a game to practice with!
DeleteThat is really awesome!
Deleteoo flashcards
DeleteI would like to become a better and faster swimmer. To achieve that I will work harder in practice and go to a few more practices. Another goal is to become better at Spanish. To achieve that I will speak in more spanish to my brother. I would also like to become better at my math facts. To achieve that I will practice more.
ReplyDeleteFor my goals, I will try to become sort of good at speaking spanish. I want to do this because that means me and my stepmom can secretly plan things while my dad is wondering what in the world we are talking about. That would be so cool! I need to try this thing called studying first. It will be hard but I'll try my best anyway. But studying is hard! So I think I will just try putting all my movies from Netflix in spanish mode then put on english subtitles. Seems the most easy way.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea to learn a lot of spanish and then your dad doesn't know what you are saying. I might have to steal your idea and talk in spanish with my brother. So my mom and dad can't understand us.
DeleteOne of my goals for the year is to improve my handwriting. I have got to have the messiest handwriting in the whole entire world. One thing I have to do to achive that goal is to write slowly but surely.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great goal! You could also practice writing at your house and other places when you have free time.
DeleteYours truly,

I don't think your handwriting is that messy! But that still is a great goal.
DeleteMy personal goal is to get better at soccer I want to run faster and I want to score more goals.To achieve that goal I will practice every weekend that I'm with my mom or when I have free time. My academic goal is to get better at division and I can do that by testing myself and making flashcards to help me and I can get my sister to help me too. I could also make math into a fun game.
ReplyDeleteYou already are really fast!!
DeleteOne of my goals is to be able to speak Spanish. Then I will be able to speak to my brother in Spanish. I will practice by talking to my brother and practice at home. I also want to do better on tests. I will become better by studying harder.
ReplyDeleteMy goals are I want to become a pretty good breakfast chef. I will achive this by continuing to make eggs for my autnty's.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for 5th grade is to improve my writing. Some ways I might do this are to read more and write in a similar way to those authors. :D
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn more in all subjects in school especially math.I love math. I also want to get better in Spanish because I'm not very good at it. I will study and listen to the teacher in all subjects. I also want to get better at chess. I can do this by taking private lessons, studying, and playing in chess tournaments.
ReplyDeleteTo make art in a way that will bring joy to little kids fighting cancer. The way I want to achieve this goal is to start a charity that makes art in a way to put a smile on kids faces. Also to take their mind off of the treat ment they are getting in the hospital. People don't see that other people go through more pain than us. I want my goal to help others not just myself.
ReplyDeleteMy academic goal for this year is to learn as much spanish as I can in the time given. I will achieve this goal by paying as much attention as I can in during class and in the textbook. I will also study my hardest for each test and/or quiz. My personal goal is to become more of a morning person. I would like to achieve this goal so I won't have to hear "Hurry up, Viv" anymore. I will achieve this goal by really waking my self up by making sure my alarm clock is really loud and really wake myself up. By being more awake I won't be as sleepy and groggy.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good goal! I usually wake up around 6:45!!
DeleteOne of my goals I have is being a professional soccer player. I am going to achive it by signing up for indoor soccer and practicing every day with my friends at recess. Another goal I have is mastering long division because I am very bad at it. I am going to achive it by practicing every night.

My goal for this year is to improve on my multiplication and my Spanish. I want to get good scores on my math worksheets and do well on my Spanish. I want learn more SpanishBecause my cousin Joel is Spanish and his father taught him how to speak Spanish and I could have a conversation with him.

My goals are simple and diffuclt. My first goal will be quite hard for me but I will try my bes.t So my goal is to try to keep all my school work neat and organized and not overflow with stuff. I will do this by cleaning out my binder and locker at the end of evry week. Also will not shove everything into my binder and locker I will put everything in neatly. This year, since I don't have a desk, it will be easier to clean things out. But it will also be hard because this year I've got a lot af more stuff. So I will try my best!
ReplyDeleteMy goal for this year is to win a least one blue ribbon in a horseshow. How I would comeplete that goal is to practice, practice, practice! And maybe I will win!
