Encourage student goal setting with 30 different student desk reminders in the form of “I can” statements. This resource is editable so you can make your own desk reminder cards for students. These student reminders go great on the corner of a student’s desk-they even fit PERFECTLY in the target adhesive pockets! I will continue to add different reminders, but there is also a ppt file for you to add your own text and clipart!

All I can say is YES! These are a must. We discuss goal setting all the time, goals are easier to accomplish when we have a reminder of our goal right in front of us. I had students individually pick a goal that they wanted to work towards. They were independent and responsible, they chose their goal and then worked towards accomplishing it! It was such a good feeling when they were able to accomplish their goal and celebrate their success! I love having these in the classroom and seeing the pride students have when they see their successes! -Ashley J.

This resource is an amazing way to help students achieve their goal. They are reminded everyday with the cards and they are able to learn how to work hard to achieve a goal. I highly recommend. -Amanda H.
