A student portfolio is a window,
if you will, into the minds of students. When students
write and reflect on their writing, it gives teachers
and all who view their work some insight into the individual
student. When students think about their work and work
to improve it, you can see the concepts and learning,
taking place. When students acknowledge mistakes and ways
to do things differently, they take charge of their own
learning.
The following education updates
are provided to enhance your understanding of how we integrate
thestandards, learning, authentic performance assessment
and portfolios in our classroom. Additionally, you may
download copies of our student newspaper, Room 118 Gazette.
By the end of
the school year each student has a complete portfolio
of their sixth grade ELA and Social Studies writing experiences.
Throughout the school year students demonstrate their
writing ability in a myriad of ways. Using the computer
lab in our school and classroom and with Internet access,
these students improve their writing and technology skills
covering a multitude of topics.
