Craft One-Word Resolutions in the Classroom this January!

This student goal-setting project is best used as a New Year’s social-emotional learning lesson. Encourage your students to set attainable goals and begin their new year with a one-word goal in mind that will carry them through the next 365 days.

With this template, students will identify their one-word goal for the new year, reflect and plan for how to meet their goal, and reflect on the goal-setting process. Then they will create a fun One-Word t-shirt to illustrate their goal for the year.

Show Off Your One-Word Goals with a New Year Bulletin Board

Use this activity to create an amazing New Year bulletin board inside or outside your classroom. Have the students complete the project, then display their one-word tee shirts on your bulletin board. Now everyone can see how your students are focused on the new year!

Easily Prepare This New Year’s Activity for Your Students
