Setting Goals � What is a goal? � A goal is something we want to accomplish and get better at. It may also be something we want to change. � Have any of you ever made any goals? If so, what were they?

Goals � It is important to set goals. When we set goals it should be something we can achieve but it makes us work hard to get there. � There are two types of goals that we will talk about today. Short –term goals � Long –term goals �

More About Goals • A short-term goal can be to learn a new habit that you can do right away. An example of this would be try one new vegetable a week or 15 more minutes of playing outside a day. • A long-term goal is a new habit that you would like to reach by a certain time such as the end of the school year. An example of a long-term goal is getting an A+ in Math class by the end of the year.

Let’s Set Some Goals � I want everyone to take out a piece of paper and write down 1 or 2 short-term goals you would like to reach and 1 or 2 long-term goals you would like to reach. � If you would like you can share them with the class.

Newsletters � Be sure to take the newsletter home and share it with your parents and family.
