Jayden Term 2 Goals

My learning goal for Reading this term is:

to extend my vocabulary so I can understand what I read.

To achieve this goal, I will need to:

My whanau can help me achieve this by:

Encouraging me to read better or longer books.

 
My learning goal for Writing this term is:

Paragraph my writing into paragraphs.

To achieve this goal, I will need to:

Remember to start a new paragraph when I get to a new part of my story.

My whanau can help me achieve this by:

Helping me remember to use my paragraphs in any writing I do at home.



My learning goal for Maths this term is:

To try and reach stage 7 in maths by the end of the year.

To achieve this goal, I will need to:

Keep practicing my maths at home and in the holidays.

My whanau can help me achieve this by:

Giving me hard maths problems like 13 divided by 7.



My personal goal this term is:

To keep trying my best in learning.
