Sarah’s Plant Project

Sarah wanted to grow the tallest sunflower in her school garden. She set a clear goal: “I’ll grow a sunflower as tall as me by the end of summer.” To achieve this, she planned to water it daily, add compost every week, and keep a weekly growth chart. There were challenges—sometimes, she’d forget or rain would overwater it. But Sarah kept her schedule, learned to adapt, and felt so proud as her sunflower eventually reached her shoulder, teaching her the power of setting and sticking to goals.

Questions:

  1. What was Sarah’s specific goal with her sunflower?
  2. How did Sarah track her progress?

Activity: SMART Goal Practice

Encourage students to set a small, specific goal for the week, like reading for 15 minutes daily, then check progress at week’s end.
