Day 2 Report

Today we learned about Sean Covey's Happy Habit # 2 Begin with the End in Mind. Here is a video of two students re-enacting the story we read. 

Students also chose their goals and made sure that they were:

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Realistic

Timely

Then I spent time with each student helping them come up with strategies and websites that they can use to achieve their goals. Here are the goals and strategies, your child can tell you which is theirs.
