Goal setting is a good way to start the year, and this craft makes the goals easy to share. Students think about goals for learning, for getting along with others and for staying organized. Sentence starters help them turn their ideas into sentences.

Why I made these
I taught third grade for seven years and have homeschooled my own kids for twelve. Writing time goes better when kids have a clear place to start. I made these so students get that support and finish with something they're proud to share.
