New Year's Goals - For Kids and Teachers!

Cleaning of the Christmas Break I came upon a little book that I have.  It's partially full (room for more) goals that I want to accomplish.  I started back in 2008.  Flipping through it I realized that I'd actually achieved about half of the goals I'd set out to do.  One being to lose weight and the other to travel to Italy I never thought would come so soon.

As I was reading Danielle Mahoney's Blog for Scholastic, I was really impressed with her Argentinian version of goals: Twelve Wishes.  She shows at the link below how to do this with a class, but I also think it's a great idea for teachers as well.
