Using this worksheet, kids can list out academic, social, and personal goals like improving in math, making two new friends, or learning a new sport. This can help the whole family mentally prepare for the upcoming school year and set a positive and organized tone while looking forward.
When making your checklist, you might consider including plans like buying school supplies, setting up a homework station, planning a school-friendly meal and snack list, or settling on a bedtime routine.
After printing out your worksheet:
Sit with kids and explain the different sections of the checklist, ‘Supplies’ and 'Goals'.
Go through your ‘Supplies’ lists together, marking off any items you already have and noting anything else you’ll need to find.
In the ‘Goals' section, you can incorporate any ideas for academic, personal, or social goals for the upcoming school year. Encourage kids to try to think of some achievable goals that can help to challenge and motivate them through the year.
You can revisit these goals throughout the school year to check in on your progress and make any needed adjustments.
Example items for Supplies: uniform, shoes, backpack, notebooks, water bottle, etc.
Example items for Goals: Improve on reading comprehension, achieve a certain grade in math, read X number of books, participate in an after-school activity, etc.
