Ready Set Goal! 4th graders have been learning about goal setting as part of our Second Step SEL program. This week, they applied their knowledge about the goal setting process through a challenge to see how many cups each group could stack by only using rubber bands and string, not their hands! Each group set a 10 minute goal, created an action plan, checked their progress midway through, and reflected on how things went.
