The High Wire Act of a 3rd Grade Book Report
Had to help my son with his 3rd grade book report project this last week. Here’s what went well with it:
For each grade of school there are higher expectations of what you should be able to do. Just because it worked in second grade doesn’t mean it’s still good for third grade. You’ve learned more so you should be able to do more. Tomorrow, you will probably see three types of book report projects. Ones that look like a little more effort could have been put into it. Others that look like a 3rd grader gave their best effort. And a few that will look like their parents really enjoy doing 3rd grade book reports. I want yours in the second group. So, this project is good, but how can it be made better? It just so happened that last Friday was my volunteer day in the classroom. I got to see all the book report projects being turned in. There were some that could’ve used a little more effort. There were many that looked like a 3rd grader gave their best effort. And there were some where Mommy and Daddy are going to get an A+. And with little interference and a bit of guidance from Mommy, my son’s project was right where it was supposed to be with his best effort and he was proud of it. For that I think we both deserve an A+. ☺ ☺ ☺

It sounds like this was a good experience for you and your son. I especially appreciate you talking to your son about higher expectations and paying attention to other parents', I mean kids', projects. Those are great conversations to have with kids.
