Long Elementary School fourth-grade students in Lindbergh Schools offer these New Year’s resolutions for 2018:
Willa — My New Year’s resolution for 2018 is that I would like to read at least one classic book. I would like to do this because it would help my vocabulary, and be fun. I think I would read the full version of “Little Women.” I have read the shortened version, but I think it would be fun to read the full version. That is my New Year’s resolution.
Jacob — For My New Year’s resolution I want to spend more time with my family. To do that I will try to have a family board game night or a family movie night.
Hannah — For my New Year’s resolution I would try to do four-digit multiplication every morning for the whole third quarter or just maybe I will do four-digit multiplication all year in the morning. I think four-digit multiplication is easy for me and I hope it will get easier.
Mohammad — Many people around the world have set a resolution or two for the upcoming year, and I am one of those people. I have set two resolutions, one personal and one academic. My personal resolution is to become better at soccer. My academic resolution is to become better at math. I am proud that I have set two resolutions for 2018, because in the past I have only set one.
Gabriella — Have you set a New Year’s resolution this year or ever in your life? Well, I have. This year I have set two goals, one academic and one personal. My academic goal is to get better at math, specifically long division. My personal resolution is to get better at gymnastics. I know it will take a while, like most resolutions do, but I am confident I can reach these goals by the end of next year.
