Self-Portrait Goals for the School Year

Let's start the school year off right!  Here's a short slideshow with instructions for the project.  I bought frames from the dollar store so the kids could frame their masterpiece and hang it on their wall.
They draw a self-portrait and then write their top three goals for the school year.

It could be anything from:
Work hard to get good grades this year.
Make sure to turn in all my assignments on time.
Read a book a week.
Finish my AR goal on time.
Give encouragement to someone every day or week.
Be extra kind to my family and siblings
Earn my bible verse trophy this year.


Encourage them to really think about realistic goals that they could accomplish by the end of the year.
Also encourage them to be specific in attaining their goals.
In other words..." read loads of books" is vague, but " read a book a week" is something they could strive for and at the end of the year have a feeling of accomplishment.


Materials:
dollar store frames
colored pencils

pencils, erasers
