I am sending you a link to the rubrics I use to assign marks for the progress report. Please let me know if you would like a paper copy and I will send one on Monday. We can discuss any questions at your child's conference.
Also, here are a few words sent to me by my daughter's first grade teacher fifteen years ago. I feel this gives a nice perspective on progress reporting...
“Please do not picture me as being better or worse than all the other children. Remember that all children do not learn to talk or walk at the same time, nor do they learn math and reading at the same rate or in the same way. I ask you not to compare me with my brother, my sister or the kid next door. You can set realistic goals for me, but please be careful not to push me to succeed at something that is beyond my ability. I want you to understand that this report is a picture of my school progress. When you meet with my teacher, you will learn many things about my life at school, even some things that might surprise you. My teacher knows me as I am at school. You know how I am at home. The “real” me is somewhere in between." Author Unknown
If you have not signed up for a conference and would like to please contact me. Or use this link for sign up I sent earlier in the month.
