HAPPY New YEAR 2024" Greeting Card for Sale by dsuwanprasert | Redbubble

Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!: Manes, Stephen: 8601419331390: Amazon.com: Books

This week we read “Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days” by Stephen Manes to tie in with our goal-setting for the remainder of the year.  We reached the end of this book and came to the punch line–that you cannot be perfect, and even if you could be perfect, it wouldn’t be of much use.  Was your child able to make it 24 hours with their broccoli necklace?!

Dealing With Obstacles In Achieving Goals-Do results reflect who you are?

Kicked off 2024 reflecting and goal-setting for the new year.  Ask your child what their focus is for the remainder of their 3rd grade school year!
