A Simple Activity to Help Students Set Personal Goals

This activity was used with 3rd through 5th graders, but as a former secondary teacher, I think it could be used with middle school and high school students as well. It'd be a nice activity during an advisory period or used as part of a campus character development curriculum.

How Jeff Kinney Helps My Children Experience New Things

My son loves Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Absolutely loves it. He's only 8 years old, but he's already read all of Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid books. I love watching him read the books. As a librarian, I'm absolutely thrilled when he shares something funny from the books because it shows he's really engaged with the writing. My daughter is older and has a fondness for dystopian literature, but she still enjoys reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid just as much as my son does (or I do).
