Students will be coming home with their Plant Life Cycle rubric today. You will see the assessment markings from myself (green highlighter) and from themselves (circles/checkmarks). Please have a conversation around this assessment and discuss ways in which your child can improve on their next inquiry project. This rubric gives students feedback on the areas that they can improve upon in the future. These plant life cycle projects will be on display during conferences next week.
