More About Boylee's Conference

Mrs. Richards gave me an example of how Boylee works. He recently had a writing test. She gave him a piece of paper and asked him to draw a picture of something he could see at a zoo, and then write a sentence about it. He drew a polar bear (maybe because it's white and he wouldn't have to color it?!?) and then wrote: I see a polar bear at the zoo.

Mrs. Richards told me that some other kids might choose to write just "polar bear," or "I see a polar bear," but he wrote that nice, long sentence. That got him a grade of 4.
