Assessment

In order to help students become accountable for their work, and to be proud of what they do, I'm sending home the rubric for your child's story that they wrote just before Christmas holidays.   We read this book  as a class, and then the students had to "copy" the format, and create their own story full of rhymes and such.  They created a book and illustrated their story as well.

Now... we're asking for your help!   Please, sit down with your child. Have them read the story to you, and as you inspect their book, fill out the rubric that was sent home.   Please discuss with your child what you felt they did well, and what they could do better.   Please write a few comments about your discussion on the lines provided.   
Having your child see you interested in their work will certainly inspire them to do better here at school.   I think a few students felt sick to know that mom or dad was going to be reading their story!  I'm curious!!!  :-)

THANK YOU!
