Assessment plan
A year-end portfolio celebration: each child shares their "All About Me" page, writing and number work, made things, and a kind act, and reflects on what they have grown into.
Unit 12 — All of Me, All of Us
Overview
The year closes by gathering all of it together. Learners revisit and celebrate their feelings, the story of who they are, the communities they belong to, and the care they have practiced all year. Through a portfolio celebration — sharing an “All About Me” page, writing and number work, made things, and a remembered kind act — each child sees themselves as a whole person and sees their class as a caring community to which they belong. This unit spirals back to the year’s opening and sends the learner forward into Grade 2.
Essential questions
- Who have I become this year, and who are we together?
