Spring Break Yet?

7 more days are all that stand between me and Ohio! :)
 

I'm so excited!  Is it too early to start packing?

One of the projects I've been working on for my classes is setting individual instructional goals for my students, depending on their independent learning levels.  Aka, differentiation!  Right now we are working on writing our own nonfiction stories on a topic of choiceI whipped up a little visual to help us with our writing goals.


There is something similar floating around on Pinterest, but with post-its.  I was afraid those wouldn't stay on, so we use popsicle sticks.  I hold writer's conferences with each student, and then they put a popsicle stick in 1 area that they need to improve.  The kids have really taken ownership of their goals.  It's a wonderful motivator! :)
