I-SEARCH Project Rubric
It is an excellent teaching strategy to allow students to choose how they respond to a text or show you what they know about a topic. It builds independent learning, creativity, time management, as well as letting the students use their individual interests and talents to be more successful. However, it can be difficult to grade equitably! How do you compare the quality and effort of a poem vs. a flowchart vs. a dance vs. a model?

How can you assess final products when students have created a myriad of products? How can you compare a chart, a song, a poem, and/or a debate to each other in terms of quality?

Year Long Student Height Book- Measurement
This is a year long project that I used with first, second, and third graders in my Montessori classroom. The first day students are measured on a height chart that I have on the wall. They decorate their cover page and color in their height in inches on the bar graph. I designate one day as "Measuring Day" and the kids look forward to that day. There is a page for each month after September's initial measuring. This resource helps students look at measurement in a fun and interactive way. Howev

I created this so that students have a guideline for researching on the internet. When given free range, they struggled to come up with a topic or know where to look. I created this chart for them to document what they know and what to learn, as well as 'starter topics' for them to research. Once they've found things that interest them, they write them on the topic sides and document their research.
