your goals?

Please write your goals in​ ​bold blue

SMART Goal #1 My first goal for my biology class is to ​not procastinate​. This is
important because it would give me so much more time to do my
work and go back and see what ive done. I think that this goal ia
persuable and also measurable since it will be refective on my
grades. I do belivie that this goal is pretyy realistic and that I can
accomplish it. I would try and accomplish this goal as soon as
possible since it will help my grade for this 3rd quarter.

SMART Goal #2 Next I would like to accomplish a goal in my ELA class that is to try
and pay more attebntion, ​not lose focus​. This is important for me to
do becaus I don’t really enjoy this subject therefore if i glaze,or zone
out it will just become more and more difficult.The method that I
would use to measure my accomplishment would be to do a self
 check and see if i uderstand what weve been doing. In order to
accomplish this goal I will try to have a water botte with me and drink
it throughout that class in order to stayhydrated which will help me
stay focused. Once again I do belive that this goal is realistic
because I know my abilities and what im capabule of. This goal will
be accomplished by or before the end of this quarter.

SMART Goal #3 My final goal is set for my math class. Which is to ​ask as many
questions as possible​.I think that this is important because itll help
whenever i need help on anything. I think that this goal is
measureable and that ity wil help with my grade on assignments and
grades. In order to accomplish my goal i will figure out my poc in my
problem and ask my teacher about it. This is a realistic goal that can
be accomplished before the end of this quarter.
