Wondering Wednesday, February 22

In grade 3 we have been discussing feedback and assessment. 

What does this mean? What does it look like? What can I improve on? Did I try my best? Am I proud of this work? What am I aiming for? Am I making good use of class time?

Ask your child about Austin's Butterfly!

This is the language we will continue to use...and we will add more descriptors for 4-3-2-1. 

Yesterday we considered what is feedback and why it's important. We also discussed self-assessment as we want to understand ourselves as learners. 

We also know that receiving peer/friend feedback is also a great way to learn. 

The feed back must be kind, specific and useful. 

The students also had the opportunity to self-assess our International Organization Informational Posters. We understand that we are lifelong learners and learning is journey (it never stops!). With the feedback from ourselves, peers and teacher we then grow and improve our work.

Today we talked about a new word: ENHANCE

Ask your child, what is one way they can enhance their informational poster.
