Objective: The student will identify past accomplishments and successes.

1. Discuss things the children have accomplished. Such as: Learning to ride a bike, learning to swim, or learning to spell or read.
2. Ask if these things were hard and how they felt knowing they did something that was hard.
3. Pass out construction paper, paste, and scissors. Have the student draw a large tree on a piece of construction paper. Then have them cut out leaves from another piece of construction paper. On the leaves, instruct the children to write a word or draw a picture of their accomplishments. Paste leaves on the tree.
4. Have the children draw clouds above the tree. In their clouds, have them write in words or draw symbols of things they would like to accomplish.
