ACHIEVE  YOUR  GOALS

Everyone can set their own goals (sometimes with the younger students with Teacher assistance) and plan on meeting them.  Some can be short term and others can be long term.  For our younger students it is easier for them to set short term goals because the concept of a shorter length of time is easier for them to see the outcome faster.  It is fun for them also if they have something to look at when they are reaching the goal.  It can be a chart they fill in that when it is complete the goal is finished.  This way they can watch their progress and know how much more they have to go to attain the goal.  They might have a path that they have to follow and they fill it with stickers and when they get to the end of the path they have reached their goal.  Whatever you, as the Teacher, can put in place to motivate your students to reaching their goals will help initiate that spark for learning and make it a fun journey for them.
