The students looked back at the goals they wrote the first week of school to reflect and revise them. They were asked to write 2 paragraphs about how they were meeting their goals and how they might want to rewrite them. I asked the students to really think about how they might challenge themselves for the second semester and how they can go further than the bare minimum. Here is what they had to say:
I met some of my goals but I felt like they were unrealistic. First, we have brownie parties every two months (except for the winter vacation month). Second, I also got better at percentages. Last, I finished all my book reports before I had to stay in for recess for them. Those are the goals I met but I felt like some of them were unrealistic.
I do not need to change any of my goals but I do need to change some things. First, I think I can get in trouble at times instead of not at all. Also, I need to stay in the homework club but not for the whole year!!! Last, some of my writing stories need to be shorter so I can read them to the little kids. That is why I don't need to change any of my goals but need to change some things.
I met almost all of my goals. I still need to read 50 book. All the rest I feel good about. That is because I completed them. I almost met all my goals.
There are some things I need to say. Now I want to reach 40 million dollars and get to squaring in math. I need to change some other reflections. I am going to try not to do the minimum. There, I got it off my chest.
I've gotten 3 out of 6 goals accomplished. One is that I have 30-40 million dollars, way over in fact. Second I've read more than 3 books. Third is I've not gotten any run on sentences for a very long time. I know that I've said this before, but I need to get more million dollars for other things besides planner and bizz-buzz. I also think I need to change my goals because some I've surpassed quite a bit. Those are the 3 goals I've accomplished.
I think some things for my goals I've surpassed. I've gotten way over 30 million dollars and I've read more than 3 books. My new goals would be over 100 million dollars and over 8 books by the end of the year. I'm going to challenge myself by writing more than 5 sentences like 7 or 8 sentences. Those are some things that I need to change.
I've done 2 things in my goals. Write better and be good at math. I felt very happy and proud.
Yes the goal I need to work on is to stay in homework club. I need to write about school in my journal and get more dollars, and staying in homework club.
I accomplished readying a 100 books, writing a perfect summary, and having less nonsense sentences. I feel awesome that I accomplished 3 of my goals. I'm exhilarated that I only have a few more goals to accomplish. This moment is very awesome to me.
Here are the new goals I made. I want to read 1000+ books with more than 100 pages. Learn more science and social studies. Finish everything on time, and stay in homework club for the rest of the year. I don't need to tweak my goals. I really think these goals are challenging because the goals are amplified to be challenging. I think these goals add a climbing wall in my path.
I met only one of my goals. I finished reading 100 books on my Kindle. I was very excited about finding that out when I counted them. Today I found out that Daddy had won an award in first grade for reading a hundred books. He had to do a book report for all of them. His teacher had them do a report for every book they read at home or at school. I liked hearing that a lot. Hearing that both of us had read a hundred books was exciting.
Next week I want to start a goal of reading one chapter book a week all the same genre as the one we're doing for our book report. I'm going to read the first book in the Artemis Fowl series this week. I started in yesterday. It's really good so far. I don't think I need to change anything. I'm going to challenge myself this week by writing longer paragraphs. I'm sure I can accomplish it all.
I think I met a lot of my goals. I've stayed in the homework club for 2 months. I've read 26 books. I have enough million dollars to last a long while. All of this was extremely easy. Those were the goals I met.
I have a lot of new goals and if you are looking for changes, check the next page. I want to have forty million dollars for auction. I want to read 56 books this school year. I want to stay in the homework club for 5 more months. I could challenge myself by using four detail sentences. These are my goals.
I met one of my goals so far. That goal was to read more chapter books. I also must say the number of chapter books increased. I feel very happy that I achieved my goal. That is my goal that I completed.
I'm also adding a goal that says that I should slow down on my work. I made that goal because my parents said that I should. I'm also going to challenge myself by going above and beyond on work. This is my new goal.
I have not met any of my goals. They are turning out to be really hard to meet. I'm not even sure if I should make a deadline for "The Mermaid Tail." I won't be able to write a good story if I have a deadline. I still absolutely hate math with all my might. I think that goal is unrealistic as well. I'm beginning to question all of my goals except for the cursive one.
I definitely need to change some of my goals. I should take away my Mermaid Tail goal and math goal. I should replace them with, getting my assignments in on time and don't lose any million dollars. I also need to change 50 million dollars into 65 million. I am going to work on challenging myself very hard. I think now I have it all covered.
I met 4 of my goals. I think I worked hard on all of my goals. But we really need to get more brownie parties. If I work hard enough I think I can get more million dollars (not planner). I will meet all of my goals next semester. I feel good about finishing my goals. I feel good when I meet goals.
I didn't think of new goals to add. I did change my goals from like 30 million dollars to 100 million dollars and 70 in math to 90 in math. I am going to challenge myself to even make extra paragraphs and stretch my comfort zone. I am going to make 3 paragraphs in one and make super long paragraphs (I am also going to use the word "paragraph" 20 or more times in my paragraph). I will work a lot harder next semester.
I feel I've accomplished two of my goals: be nice to everyone and read 10 books-more than 100 pages. I feel good about those goals, because it's totally not cool to be mean to people. I don't know why I only wrote 10 books. I've read 3 books that were, like 700 pages long. They would count at least 5 books. That is how I feel about my goals.
I feel I need to challenge myself more. I changed 10 books to 25 books. I'm trying my hardest to improve in language arts, but I need to work harder. I'm going to challenge myself by making sure I never do paragraphs with only 5 sentences. Those paragraphs are o.k. I want to do good paragraphs. This is how I am challenging myself.
I feel that I have met most of my goals. I am pretty sure I got better at my run on sentences. I also read longer books like Holes and Wrinkle in Time. Holes was my favorite book ever. I really feel that I got much better at division. It feels really good that I'm still in homework club, because I brought in my homework. It makes me really happy!
There are a couple of goals I want to do. Like I need to change get a lot of million dollars. I already have a lot. I want to challenge myself more like more sentences in a paragraph and on timed tests get under 3:10! I also want to change stay in homework club, because I've only got out of it once. It was an unrealistic goal. I want to challenge myself by reading books over 200 pages. That's how I want to challenge myself.
