We're coming up on the end of second quarter and that means REPORT CARD time. And this is something new for many of you- report card comments.
I always thought that writing report card comments was more difficult than preparing for parent-teacher conferences. I savored the time talking with parents and sharing stories about both their child's academic strengths and areas to grow in and the stories that showed how much I knew about and valued their child's other gifts. It's hard to capture all that a child brings to your classhome in that little report card comment space, but as a parent, I know that that's so much of what they care about.
Be as specific as you can about each student's successes and areas to work on and why, and also try to incorporate a line or two about the unique way that they add beauty and value to your class. A few of those sincere words could make all the difference.
Here are a few websites you can refer to for some helpful comment stems!
