We have been spending a great deal of time reflecting on our work lately. We have talked about always giving our best and making sure that we have good details and colors in our pictures and words. We used a basic 4 star rubric to begin to look at our own work critically. The students took one of their writing pieces and compared it to the provided examples in order to determine how they would rate their work. They really enjoyed this process and it helped them to see and reflect upon how they could make their pieces even better! We have the 1-4 star examples posted in our room for students to reference. Encourage your firstie to do 4 star work at home too!
