We're continuing our 7 Habits of Happy Kids lessons in 2nd and 3rd grade this week, and focusing on Habits 2 and 3.
Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind
Habit 3: Put First Things First.
Both of these habits focus on setting and reaching goals. We'll talk about the importance of setting goals in all areas of life, as well as spelling out specific steps for reaching those goals. We'll play a fun game of (what else?) GOAL, in which students work in groups to develop goals for certain areas and then toss beanbags into a goal to earn points for their group. My goal is to combine skill-building and fun in all of my Classroom Counseling lessons.
