We will be completing two lessons this week.

5th Grade - Unit 1: Growth Mindset and Goal-Setting

Lesson 4: Time to Reflect - In this lesson, your child will learn how to reflect on their experience working toward a goal.

Try this at home: Ask your child to tell you about their goal-setting journey, including what worked, what didn’t work, and what they could do next time. Tell your child about a goal that you set and worked toward. What worked, what didn’t work, and what did you learn?

Lesson 5: My 10-Minute Goal - In this lesson, your child will apply the full goal-setting process they learned in this unit to work toward a 10-minute goal of their choice.

Try this at home: Ask your child about the goal-setting process they learned in this unit and why it’s important. Encourage them to set a new short-term goal that's right for them and to follow the process they learned. Check in along the way to see how it’s going.

6th Grade - Unit 1: Mindsets and Goals

Lesson 4: Making Goals Specific - In this lesson, your child will learn how to identify and set achievable goals by making them specific.

Try this at home: Ask your child to tell you about a specific goal they’re interested in working toward and what makes it specific.

Lesson 5: Breaking Down Your Goals - In this lesson, your child will practice breaking big goals down into smaller, short-term goals.

Try this at home: Think of a time you achieved a big goal, such as learning to drive or graduating from school. Tell your child about your goal and the series of smaller steps you needed to take to achieve it. Ask your child to tell you about a goal they have.

7th Grade - Unit 1: Mindsets and Goals

Lesson 4: Identifying Roadblocks - In this lesson, your child will identify and distinguish between internal and external obstacles (or “roadblocks”) that can get in their way when working toward goals.

Try this at home: Tell your child about a roadblock you encountered when you were working toward a goal, and if you had control over the roadblock.

Lesson 5: Overcoming Roadblocks 1 - In this lesson, your child will learn how to use If–Then plans to overcome roadblocks. If–Then Plans help your child anticipate potential roadblocks and come up with plans for addressing them.

Try this at home: Ask your child to explain to you what an If–Then Plan is. Work together to make a plan for how your child can respond positively to a difficult situation they might encounter at home.

8th Grade - Unit 1: Mindsets and Goals

Lesson 4: Harnessing My Strengths - In this lesson, your child will choose something they’d like to get better at and think about how they could apply their unique strengths to do that.

Try this at home: Help your child make a list of strengths they have. Ask your child about how they could use these to get better at a new skill.

Lesson 5: Pursuing My Interests - In this lesson, your child will identify and respond to positive and negative influences that may affect them while pursuing a goal.

Try this at home: Tell your child about something positive or negative that influenced you as you were working toward a goal. For example, a friend who helped you find a job or learn a new skill. Ask your child about positive and negative factors that may influence them.
