I don't think that I will post these every month, but I really like how this activity turned out. I knew that going in to a new year, I wanted to focus on an idea that would help my students think about being better and push themselves to be better. Hence, I chose
Rising Above.
This is the finished board. Each student was given an arrow page that I designed (see below for more detail).
This one is my son's. I can do that because I have parental permission to use it on-line. :) Each student wrote in the arrow one or more things they want to do this month to RISE ABOVE. I love how these turned out with all the excuses I hear from students on the bottom half of the page in a faded gray.
This is what went in the student journals. I printed these from the Foundation for a Better Life's web page.
I know that these are making a difference for many of my students. I have several each month who ask what we are going to focus on next.
What is YOUR goal to RISE ABOVE?
Later...
