More Report Cards

Emily, Eleanor, & Zach brought home their report cards today. All of the kids are doing great in school. 4th grade is when the kids start bringing home letter grades and Emily got all A's. :-) Here are the comments from Emily's report card.

Language Arts ~ "Emily's strong skills are reflected in all her written work. She is able to convey her ideas with clarity, description, and detail, while doing so with her own unique voice. Her writing captures a reader's attention and keeps it throughout!"

Reading ~ "Emily has shown herself to be an avid reader! Her comments (both oral and written) reflect an increasing depth of understanding of what she reads. We'll keep working on word-solving strategies as she tends to often "guess" and not notice her errors."

Spelling ~ "Emily writes with a high degree of accuracy in her spelling. Her occasional errors are sometimes careless omissions, or indicate a particular spelling pattern that she didn't know. We'll continue to work to increase her awareness of those patterns."

Math ~ "Emily has worked consistently and accurately in all math areas covered - add./sub. computation, place value, measurement, and data analysis. She's demonstrated good understanding of all math concepts and has nearly mastered her add. fact timings!"

"Emily demonstrates good work habits, focused attention, and interest in learning - consistently across all areas of her school day. These all contribute to her growth and success as a learner."

Yay for Emily! We are proud of you!

Here are some comments from Eleanor's report card.

"Eleanor is such a delight to have in class. She is an excellent student who works hard and is making excellent progress in all areas, and especially in handwriting. She is a joy to work with and is kind to others."

"Eleanor has shown excellent progress in reading this trimester. She is using her strategies and becoming a fluent reader who reads with good expression. Her papers and projects show very good comprehension skills!"

"Eleanor's stories are well organized with good word choice and great use of details. She is also making good progress on her handwriting and I have been working on her speed and pencil grip."

"Eleanor continues to make very good progress in math and loves to be challenged! She is especially good at solving problems and loves to create her own!"

We are proud of you, too Eleanor! Keep up the great work!

Zachary has adjusted well to Kindergarten. Here is a comment from his teacher.

"Zach is an enthusiastic learner who readily accepts academic challenges. He has positive student behaviors and work habits. He's an active participant in class discussions. Zach gets along well with his peers and is a responsible and respectful student."

We are proud of you, Zach! We hope you continue to love Kindergarten and continue to bring home wonderful artwork for us to enjoy in our home. :-)
