Our Learning Targets "short term goals" These are brief targets for students to use in self assessment for our targeted goals. They are posted up in our room and we talk about them daily. I encourage you to use them as topics of conversation with your children. We will have academic and social goals weekly which will change depending on the length of the lesson(s).
