Posters for students to set class/school goals, with a space below each for them to list the steps they will need to take to achieve their goals.
4 versions:
3 pdf files with sassoon font: one with lines, one with numbers, and one with numbers and only 2 callout bubbles.
1 word doc with comic sans.
I will edit the documents and replace 'my' with the name of the student and print one off for each child in my class. Plus one for myself, so that I can set some personal (teaching) goals for myself.
I will also print out a large 'to achieve by xx/xx/xxxx' so that the goals are time sensitive and display this alongside the student's posters.
Also included some display headings, quotes, and stars to make a classroom display.
(star clipart is 'for reuse from clipartpanda.com)
54 A4 thought provoking statements to be used as a thought for the day.
I use them at the beginning of the day with a grade 3 class, but have also used them with a grade 1 class.
Get a student to select one, pop it in a A4 card case display at the side of the white board - then as a class discuss what it means and how & why they should follow the advice.
Uploaded a Word doc if you want or need to edit it, plus a PDF in case anyone has any font issues.
"By sharing and helping others I get more done."
