Third graders in Ashley Capuana’s class at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School in the Copiague School District began the school year by setting individual goals. The students brainstormed one word that best described their goal for the 2024-25 school year before coloring and designing the word in large letters. The students were also tasked with describing why and how the word correlates with their goals for the year. Third graders chose words including confidence, peace and focus, to name a few.
