New Year, New Goals Adventure
New Year, New Goals!
In this lesson, Dreamers will explore the concept of setting goals for the New Year through a fun and interactive activity. This lesson is important as it introduces young learners to the idea of personal growth and achievement in a way that is accessible and engaging for their age group. By using a blended learning approach, we can cater to different learning styles and keep the children actively involved.
