What are I Can Statements? I Can Statements are statements made at the beginning of each week that state what the children will be able to master by the end of that week. Based on the assessments made throughout the week, I will be able to determine if a student has mastered the concept or is approaching mastery. If they are still struggling, I will make instructional adjustments to meet the needs of that student to ensure they will understand.
