1st Grade BlogRecently we have been focused on setting personal goals for academic growth. Our Cando Land board tracks each students progress. Our first goal we set was for sight words. Each student set a goal for themselves and set to meet their goal by March 18th. As students are beginning to meet those goals, it is beginning to motivate others. Please encourage your child to meet their goal and ask them often if they have practiced their words and if they are ready to test. I will test for sight words on Wednesday and if I get a free moment of time in between lessons.
In the weeks to follow we will then set new goals for sight words and a goal for math and writing. My goal is for students to be actively engaged and in charge of their learning. They will know what they are working towards and where they would like to go next. |
