My Goals for This Year: SMART Goal Worksheet
A goal-setting page for fourth graders that walks through one SMART goal: write the goal, then make it Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound with one line for each letter. A little staircase splits the goal into four steps, and the side box lists who can help, three dated check-ins to circle (on track, almost, not yet) and how to celebrate. Use it in the first week and pull it out again in January and May.

About this worksheet
A goal-setting page for fourth graders that walks through one SMART goal: write the goal, then make it Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound with one line for each letter. A little staircase splits the goal into four steps, and the side box lists who can help, three dated check-ins to circle (on track, almost, not yet) and how to celebrate. Use it in the first week and pull it out again in January and May. It suits fourth grade, ages 9 to 10: more writing and thinking than coloring, and it fits in the first week of school.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
