Student Project
Personal Word Art
During a writing unit, 5th grade students learned about nouns, verbs and adjectives. To help solidify that knowledge, students created a personal word cloud all about them using those word categories. These were then displayed on a bulletin board.

This is an example of the pre-assessment and summative assessment results for a 5th grade student who was new to the district. It shows an incredible amount of growth for this student!
