"Can I see my report card?" Rachel asked excitedly when I picked her up Friday afternoon. Report cards come in letter-size envelopes so the kids can't see them. Rachel said that some parents don't show kids their report cards, but I told her I'd be glad to show it to her. The fact that she knew it was coming and that she was eager to see her progress impressed me.
Her teacher, Ms. Burke, said: "Rachel had a wonderful second quarter. She remains to be an avid reader and take advantage of any opportunity to read. She also began working on a Navigator unit, which helps to develop close reading strategies, and she will work with her group to complete it in the coming weeks. Rachel has shown growth with her writing and successfully completed several expository pieces and friendly letters. The use of graphic organizers has helped her develop her thoughts before she begins writing and her pieces are well organized and maintain a clear focus. However, I will continue to challenge Rachel in this area next quarter and will encourage her to include more descriptive details into her pieces. I would also like for her to make a habit of checking her writing for proper use of capital letters before publishing a final draft. Rachel demonstrates a strong understanding of the math concepts we studied this quarter. A math goal for her next quarter would be to practice her fact fluency with subtraction problems. Rachel continues to do well with her iPad and is eager to learn new apps. I so appreciate her positivity and her enthusiasm for learning, and I am looking forward to a great third quarter.
From her art teacher: "Rachel is very creative, and loves anything having to do with art. It is a pleasure having Rachel in art class."
From her phys ed teacher: "Rachel continues to have a great year. She worked hard to improve her skills and it showed during our rolling and bowling unit. Her jump roping has improved throughout the quarter as well. She works well independently and with others."
Areas of difficulty: using capitalization and punctuation appropriately.
Areas of strength: reading independently and computing accurately in math.
