[MOSAIC] goal setting

[KENNETH SMITH]

The Wednesday Surprise by Eve Bunting, John Phillip Duck by Patricia Polacco (the story of the ducks at the Peabody Hotel in Memphisi), Casey at the Bat (artwork by Patricia Polacco), Thank You, Mr. Falker by Polacco, Mr. Lincoln's Way also by Polacco, Dr. DeSoto by William Steig, Edwina, the Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct by Mo Willems

About any good book can fit the theme of goal setting, which can lead to great character study and study of plot (I use the "Someone wanted....... but....... so............." alot in analyzing plot with students. Most stories will fit into that frame.
Have fun with that!

Hi there,
I just found out that my school's theme for next year is all about reaching
our goals.  I was wondering if anyone has any good goal setting lessons or
ideas for 3rd grade.  I'd like to introduce with a good children's success
story/picture book about setting and obtaining a goal - any ideas?

Thanks!
Renee
