*** PAPER

Today at school we talked about what made a ***Paper  when it came to coloring.  We used the rubric below to guide our discussion to see what they noticed about the different pictures that were colored.  We talked about how it is important to stay in the lines, use colors that make sense and to not leave white space.  Using this rubric really helped children to see what their work should look like when they are done coloring pictures for their book boxes, story sequencing, writer's workshop like when completed.   After we went over the chart we did a story sequencing of the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme.  Students had to number the out of order pictures into order, color them and then cut them out.  Even though MOST children did not finish coloring (which was fine) my main objective besides the story sequencing was to get them to slow down and color using our ***Paper rubric. Please show the picture below to your child and ask them to tell you about it today. Please also ask them to explain the different faces and their meanings.   The Jack and Jill story sequencing is coming home in your child's folder today. Please go over the rubric and ask to tell you whether they thought they had a***Paper with what they colored and why.  Possible follow-up at home would be to have them finish the remaining pictures and using our rubric.
Hopefully seeing this rubric will help you discuss future with your child.
