Health
~ in class on Monday, we wrote SMART goals, that is, goals for their lives that are 1) Specific 2) Measurable 3) Attainable 4) Realistic and 5) Timely. Each student was to create 1 goal about eating healthy, and 1 goal about having an active lifestyle. After the creation of 2 goals, the students were to create a 7-day chart to check if they had completed their goals for the day. These charts and SMART goals are due Tuesday.
