A Growth Mindset

In my classroom, the focus is on each student’s growth, not just the grade they receive. Every child is unique, and my goal is to meet students where they are and help them make as much progress as possible toward grade-level expectations. I believe that learning is a journey, and growth is the true measure of success. With time, effort, and the right support, all students can make meaningful strides and reach their full potential.

3 Star Work

I give students feedback on their work with stars. Most papers sent home will have stars in the corner, letting them know how they did. Students can earn a star for each of the following things:

Neat- I can create work that is easy to read and understand.
Detailed- I can add important details that show my thinking.
Complete- I can finish all parts of the assignment.

Use this as an opportunity to talk to students about quality work and taking pride! If they have 1 or 2 stars, what could they have done to improve their work? If they have 3 stars, what are they proud of on their paper?

Thanks for your support at home!
