Rubrics and Exemplars

In our classroom we talk alot about success criteria - the expectations to be successful in a lesson/activity.  We've been working on instructional writing - writing instructions about a specific topic. Today we reviewed the rubrics and exemplars for each level of writing. Students now understand what they need to do to receive a 1, 2, 3, 4-star on their writing. We began writing steps on how to complete a Montessori math material.
Next week at conferences, students will be able to show you their writing and you can look to the rubrics and exemplars to see the next steps.  If you ever have questions about your child's learning and the expectations in our class, please don't hesitate to contact us.
