New Year’s Resolution Activities & Worksheets for Elementary Students

The New Year is almost here and it’s always the best time to “start over”, right? Of course, Back to School is usually when we reset for a new year, but now that the kids are a bit older {and better writers!} January is always a great time for a check-in on goals for the year and resolutions for the new year.

Zooming Into a New Year

Zoom into the year with BIG goals! These cars are a bit more work than the other activities but I love that it allows the students to focus on something they can, will, and want to achieve over the new year.
