I love to share the wonderful learning and teaching processes that go on here at BRES each day. I want to take a moment to share with you "I can..." statements. You may notice these statements up in the hallway by student work or on the whiteboards or smartboards in classrooms. These statements make the learning objectives easy to understand for our students. These statements are written in student friendly terms and support students in "making sense" of the curriculum expectation for them.
Here is an example of a first grade classroom that I visited today. Students in this classroom were given the goal for their academic work today. "I can..." statments are not just limited to the classroom. You can see from the other photos that our Specialists are using the statements for specials time and teaching their unique curriculum and skills for their specialized areas.
"I can..." statements at Banks Road Elementary are another way our teachers are blazing the trail to success!
