Learning Targets
We have many "Learning Targets", or short term goals, for every subject over the course of nine weeks. We talk about them and they are posted in the back of our room. These are Texas Standards that are written in kid-friendly language. Each goal starts out as an "I can...." statement. Following are some learning targets that we will cover the first nine weeks:
