January 2022 Goal Setting

  Happy New Year!

We will be learning about how to set goals and being generous.  I will read the story A Chair for My Mother by Vera B. Williams.  Here is a link to the story:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEoEEWEnooI

In this story a girl and her family set a goal to save money for something very important, a chair. The family's house caught on fire and they lost everything. The mother, grandmother and little girl work hard to fill a jar by saving all the money they can. When the jar gets full, they go look for the perfect chair! Other family members and friends help them with a lot of other things they need for their new home. Finally, they find the perfect chair, they buy it with the money they saved and they enjoy taking turns sitting in it once they get it home.

A goal is something you want to work hard for. What was the goal in this story? What kind of goals do you have? What do you want that you will work hard for? At school? At home? A sport? A game? A toy? Reading? Math?

Let's set some goals!

If you have some gently worn clothes for our Clothing Closet, especially girls and boys shorts and pants sizes 4T to 16, please send them to the PRES donation box right inside the front doors of PRES.

Best,

Mrs, Daniel, PRES Counselor
