Kiwi Can

LI. Follow through with what we say......
For this weeks topic: Responsibility

ENERGISER: Count to 21

ACTIVITY: 3 Goal setting

Three things we can strive to complete by the end of the term.

• My first goal was to get 100% on the must task list by focusing on my work
• My second goal was to learn heaps of new information by listening to my teachers carefully.
• My final goal was to get to school on time everyday by waking up early.

To follow through with what we say is to actually do it. We can show this by being

 responsible at home and at school, this is shown by doing:

• Shelves 
• pack up/clean up
• The windows

OUR NEW PHRASE: KIWI CAN SAYS, RESPONSIBLE IS WHAT I AM, AND THAT'S THE WAY OF KIWI CAN.
