Goals

When goals are created, it helps us to improve  ourselves.Two of the goals I created,  I’ve have been working hard on from the beginning of the school year. I’ve been working on doing math quicker.   Also, I’ve been working on  becoming a better reader. I have a goal that I really wasn’t working on. That goal is to become neater in writing.  

    I have reached my goal of doing math quicker.  I am able to do rocket math quicker than in the past. Also, I moved from addition to subtraction. I worked on my math goal by practicing hard every day.  One day, the TV was on while I was about to practice math. I asked my sister, “Can you lower the TV?” “No!” She replied. Should I go turn off the TV? Yes, I thought. I went and took the TV off because I didn’t want any distractions.  On that same day, I was able to finish my math practice quicker than the day before.

 

Also, I have improved on my reading goal.  I’ve moved up four levels in reading.  I would still like to improve further on my reading goal.  Therefore, I would like to improve on reading smoother. One day, my cousins were over and I was trying to focus on my reading. They were playing a Wii game. “Can you wait until I’m finished reading?” I asked. My cousin, Ajay said, “Fine.” My other cousin, didn’t  respond. I thought she was about to catch a fit. So, I went to play with them.

I  have a goal that I didn’t succeed in. Which is writing neater. I wasn’t really working on it. One time, I was doing homework and I had to go somewhere, so I ended up  writing very sloppy. Then I thought, I should  rewrite this and make it neater.  My dad said, “Come on, we have to go.” I said, “Okay.”

I have a new goal, which is to improve in writing.   To improve in writing, I need to use more vocabulary words.  I also need to improve on my organization skills in writing.

I will be  keeping my old goal, which is to become a better reader. I will need to focus more on my reading.  I will need to improve on my fluency in reading. I would like to read less choppy. Also, I will continue to read as much as I can.  I hope, I am able to reach my goals.
