*WIGs Wednesday* Meet Locklyn Thacker from Riddle Elementary. Locklyn is a fifth-grader in Mrs. Oberhill's class. Her personal WIG (Wildly Important Goal) is reading numbers with decimals. Locklyn says that decimals were very confusing at first. She told herself, 'You CAN do this," and she decided to practice place value with her dad as part of her action plan to achieve her goal. Locklyn worked at school and home while tracking her progress on DreamBox. After achieving her WIG, she says that the feeling of success is worth all of the hard work. When Locklyn isn't crushing her goals, she enjoys reading mysteries, playing with Barbies, and doing front flips on her trampoline. Mrs. Oberhill says, "Locklyn has done a great job demonstrating growth in Habit 3 (Beginning with the End in Mind.) As an almost sixth-grader, she prioritizes before allowing herself to get distracted by less important tasks." Way to go, Locklyn! #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #RiddleElementary
