Goal Setting

Imagine you lost most of your worldly possessions in a house fire. What types of items would you and your family need? How much would they cost?

Our class is stepping in to help a family in need. We will determine what types of items they need, the cost of the items, and set a realistic fund-raising goal to collect money.

Fill in the chart as we brainstorm ideas. After the class has listed many ideas, we will select three Basic Family Needs to purchase. The estimated costs of these three needs will be our fund-raising goal.

Brainstorm a list of items each family member may want. These items are things like toys, games, sports equipment, crafts, etc. After the class has listed ideas, we will select one item for each family member to purchase.
