New Year-New Kids-New Goals

This week I got a new group of 5th graders. It was also the first week of the third grading period. I had my students complete the following activity as a kick off to the class.

Materials - colored paper & markers

  • I discussed responsibility with the class and brainstorm ideas of what responsibility means (areas of discussion could include school, home, with friends, teams, or clubs)
  • Divide paper into 4 sections. Students will write what they are responsible for doing in each section.
Possible discussion questions:
What would happen if you did not follow through with your responsibilities?
What would your parents think? Friends? Coaches? You?
Are there any consequences for not completing your responsibilities?
