Student Showcase
A student came up to me today and shared with sadness that nobody is looking at her work and leaving a comment. Of course, my next steps were to visit that child's digital portfolio and leave a quick encouraging comment. I spent five minutes looking at all this student's work and left four comments.
Have you looked at your child's digital portfolio? Do the people in your child's life know that they could be apart of the learning journey?
Thank you for looking at the efforts of your child and leaving a comment. These comments make a difference.

"A Child needs encouragement like a plant needs water" Kelly Bartlett (Positive Discipline)
When commenting on a piece of writing or art it may be helpful to start with one of the following stems:
- I wonder ....
- I really like this because ....
- This makes me remember .... This reminds me....
- I can tell you worked hard because ....
- I noticed ...
Try to avoid - "Good Job", "Way to Go!" , "Nice Work" - while these comments are meant well, the goal is to provide feedback that invites us think about something, consider a change, or move in another direction. Positive comments that encourage, help children feel capable and connect us closer to each other.
