V. Reflective Response
A. Report of Students Performance in Terms of States Objectives
The students all met the objective of making a flap book and writing facts about the apple tree seasons. They
all knew facts about the season and wrote them correctly. One child did receive a 0 because he never turned the project
in even after I kept telling him to work on it every morning and turn it in to me. Please see the chart below to see how
the students scored on the attached rubric.
