 * **Parent/Caregiver Comment** || Great work Connor. I'd like to see you develop your paragraphs more and include more descriptive information. Start with the idea for the paragraph, then in the next sentences give details and examples. The aim is to better inform the reader - in this case, me! I'd like to know more details about the work you are doing and how you are getting a long with it. Take care to re-read your sentences, as sometimes they are not complete sentences. You are making great progress - keep up the good effort you have started this year. ||

** PMI Reflection Tool **
__PLUS:__ All of my work has a date. All of my work has colour when it needs to. All of my work is bordered in red pen. My work is in the correct colour and is finished. __MINUS:__ Not all of my work is as neat as it could be and i will improve it. I still haven't finished my Learning Journal title page. __INTERESTING__: How last year almost none of my work was glued into my books but this year all of my work is glued in.

Parent/Caregiver comment: Great work Connor, especially all you homework projects! It's great to see your creativity come alive on the pages. Keep it up.
