Vision Board Project: DUE JANUARY 10, 2017

It is very important that students become responsible for their learning and growth, to promote this in our scholars they will create a vision board that will assist them in setting academic and personal goals.

What is a vision board?A vision board is something you create to remind yourself of your own personal goals. Whether you wish to get better grades in school, make new friends or land a summer job, your vision board represents a collection of your greatest dreams and desires. Once you’ve made your vision board, you’ll be able to look at it and use it as a reminder of the things you want to achieve most.

How to make a vision board? Think of this as a fun craft project – you can create your vision board by gluing images and words cut frommagazines, photographs, or drawn/written by hand to a large piece of poster board. If you can’t find pictures or words relating to your goals and dreams, don’t worry! You can draw your own pictures and write your own words of inspiration on your vision board. Once you’ve collected all the images and words you want to use, glue them onto the poster board however you like. Use pens and markers to draw and write extra images and words that will help inspire you to achieve your goals! Remember: There are no limits when it comes to your own personal and academic goals and dreams. With patience, hard work, and dedication, any dream is doable, and any wish is achievable!

Materials:To make your vision board, you will need pictures that can be cut up and attached, old photographs, pens and markers, scissors, glue and a large piece of poster board. (can be from magazines, old newspapers, printed from internet, sales-papers, etc.)

How to set goals: Before you start cutting and pasting, identify down your goals, dreams and wishes by writing them down on a piece of paper. Your list may look something like this:

(Example) My goals are:1. To learn how to play the piano, 2. To get a job life-guarding at the pool this summer, 3.To get an A in reading this year.
