New Year's Learning Targets

It was wonderful to welcome all of the students back to school after winter break. The students were eager to come back to school and jump right back into the swing of things. 

We were very interested in the New Years holiday. We watched the ball drop on the Promethean Board and rang in 2012 together as a class. 

We discussed what it means to have a New Year's resolution. So, we decided to make our very own New Year's resolutions for our learning. We decided to call our New Year's resolutions our New Year's Learning Targets. We each chose a learning target that we want to master in the new year. We wrote down our New Year's learning target to hold ourselves accountable for meeting our learning target. We discussed plans for how we are going to meet our learning targets. Finally, we created self-portraits and displayed our New Year's Learning Targets outside of our classroom.
