reflecting!- Provide a public audience!Ask…Imagine…Plan…Create…Improve

My Goals forYour Child
• For students to expand their reading skills and become proficient at self-selecting books they can love and get lost in
• For students to find and develop their “voices” as writers
• For students to exhibit best effort, respect, and responsibility for their work and behavior
• For students to develop organization and time management skills
