Goal Setting in Temp 3

My students were unbelievably excited to get started with Classroom Champions this year! The group I have now was in third grade two years ago when Steve Mesler came to visit our school and they all remembered him. I introduced our athlete by having the students complete a Breakout Box (if you don't know about these look them up: http://www.breakoutedu.com/ ) - so much fun and totally engaging. They had a variety of clues to solve to unlock the box where Tyler's picture and other prizes were hidden.

We then watched our first two videos from Tyler and the students were psyched to start planning their goals. We are working on academic goal setting so that was our focus right now and then we will add their personal goals in as we work through tracking our progress more. In his video, Tyler spoke about the importance of tracking our goals and this is a goal of mine this year. I want the goals the students have set to become a living part of our classroom and not just papers we hang on the walls, so we started goal journals like the one Tyler showed us! Students also made a video for Tyler showing him our classroom and school, which is posted separately.



Here a few of the kids goal sheets:

We spent a lot of time discussing goal setting and having conversations about our goals, so the speaking and listening standards were definitely huge for us with this lesson. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.5.1
Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly.
