My students have loved keeping track of their goals and are so excited to use them to color in their goals. If not for your generous donation, this would not have been possible.\r\nThese binders are used on a daily basis. As children work towards their goals, they are continually tracking the progress made. This gives them instant feedback, along with motivation to continue working towards these. These trackers may seem unnecessary, but they impact the students in so many ways. Instant feedback is very important to them. Without this, some become laxed and give up on working towards these goals. Having something to work toward and see progress is very inspiring and motivating to even the youngest of our population.
