At the beginning of the quarter, Lori set an academic goal to improve her reading grade by reading at least twice a week for 30 minutes at home. She also set a character goal to help out at home by helping her family move and keeping her room clean, which she has done all quarter!
To work towards her reading goal, Lori and her mentor, Megan, have come up with some great steps. She has been reading at home, keeping a vocabulary journal and has met with Megan every week this quarter to talk about her goals. Last week, Lori's hard work paid off. She got 100% on her reading test proving to herself that she can reach her goals when she puts her mind to it. Keep up the good work, Lori and Megan!
