Life Skills - Term 3 - Week 1

A goal is something we want to achieve or accomplish. It can be big or small. For example, a small goal could be to read one book this week or to help a friend. Goals help us focus on what we want to do and give us something to work towards. When we set a goal, we can make a plan to reach it!

Let's think of a goal together! If we want to improve our reading skills, we can set a goal to read for 10 minutes every day. We can write this goal down and check off each day we read. This helps us see our progress and stay motivated. Remember, it's important to choose a goal that is realistic and achievable!

Now, let's create our own goals! Think about something you would like to achieve this week. It could be related to school, like finishing your homework on time, or something at home, like helping with chores. Share your goal with a partner and explain why it is important to you. After sharing, we will write our goals on a piece of paper and decorate them!

Take a moment to think about your goal. How will you achieve it? Write down the steps you will take to reach your goal. For example, if your goal is to read more, your steps could be to choose a book, find a quiet place, and set a time to read each day. After writing, share your steps with the class and discuss how we can support each other in reaching our goals.
