One petal, one goal, a whole flower of growing!
A desk craft that keeps goal setting small and doable. Students build a flower in a pot with their name spelled across it in letter tiles, then write one goal at a time on a petal. When a goal is done, the next petal gets a goal, so the flower grows with them. Perfect for the first weeks back, a goal-setting lesson or a Friday check-in.
