Daily Goal Setting Cards

Your students set daily goals just like we do! This 4” x 5” tool allows them to change their daily goal by writing it in the blank square or by placing a sticky note in the square space. Write the student’s name on each card, laminate, and then have them choose a daily goal to work toward.

Throughout the day, they can self-assess whether they are on track to meet their goal by bubbling in a thumbs up or thumbs down with a dry erase marker in the morning, midday, and the afternoon.
