1- student who is late everyday is ultimately missing hours of instructional time each trimester. Is unable to regulate and transition into the school day

4- student who is in the cafeteria in their chair by the time prayers start. Allows the student to transition into the school day and get the most out of their classes

In math class, we are learning about converting decimals to percentages.

Students are given a word problem with a budget, and they’re buying a pair of shoes. Students must decide how much of their budget that the shoes should cost.

Students are put into groups of three. One student, Josie tackles the problem immediately and refers to her previous notes, but Jack sits there and does not independently open his book, write down the problem, and is doodling while the other two members work. Jack does not ask questions. Josie is able to answer questions easily with a grasp on the process but Jack has not made any attempt to solve the problem. Third person is engaged but Josie is the leader.

Feedback:

To Josie (4) - She is an independent worker, regularly tackles problems, self sufficient, and when she has problems, she raises her hand to ask for help.

To Jack (1) - Jack seems to not be confident in asking for help. He will wait until the answer is given before trying to work out the problem.

Hello, your child has been listening very attentively in class. I can tell by the way that she contributes during class discussions. For example, when a classmate mentioned he solved the math problem by drawing a diagram. Then, Alexandria appreciated his work by raising her hand and saying, “I like how he solved it because it showed me that there is more than one way of understanding the problem.” This kind of participation shows that Alexandria listened and cares about what her classmates are saying in group discussions.

I enjoy having your child in my class. However, I am concerned about his understanding of the content. I have observed that when others are speaking, and I ask Noel to put in his own words what was said, he is often lost and needs me to repeat the class discussion. This has happened on a daily basis, so I wanted to bring this to your attention. This way moving forward Noel can improve his listening skills. 

1- " Hayden excels in writing and really enjoying reading. However I noticed a pattern during math where he disrupts his peer's learning by breaking pencils. Hayden and I have worked together to get his frustration out in an appropriate way. I would like to know have you noticed any of these behaviors at home and do you have any suggestions."

2- " Hayden excels in writing and really enjoying reading. However I noticed this week he has been displaying frustration during math class by breaking his pencils. Are there any changes at home that you have noticed?

4- I just want to thank you for your consistent support in your child's education. Hayden has been excelling in all his subjects and his behavior has been flawless.

I just wanted to give a little praise to your daughter Jane, who has been successfully prepared every day this week! Not only is she prepared for class with a sharpened pencil when needed, but she has also been a great classmate by lending tools to her group! Thank you for encouraging these actions and working so closely with her! Please keep up the great work!

She is always the first to unpack and is always ready for the day. She is not afraid to ask important questions to gain a better understanding or to clear up any confusion she might have about a task.

I just want to say that it is a pleasure teaching your child Tyler. I would like to say she has a lot of potential and is actively developing as Kindergartener. However, she did score a 1 under attendance and promptness. So there are a few things that we need work on to help Tyler get to the point that she needs to meet her goal.

I wanted to bring this to your attention so we can work together to help Serenity build consistency with punctuality. Even a few minutes can make a big difference in setting a positive tone for the day.

always the first one to answer questions, asks questions on topic, very engaged in assigned group work, she even helps other classmates out during group work.

I enjoy having her in class as she is a role model to the class as well as a leader. I am looking forward to her continual growth for the rest of the year! 

Level 1 - Hi Charles! I hope all is well.

Johny is great at following the directions of the classroom and always has his materials prepared. However, I have some concerns for Johny on his level of engagement this trimester in class.

I notice he frequently has his head down, he sometimes seems disinterested in class topics, at times he refuses to answer questions when called on, he remains silent during turn and talks.

Do you have any questions and ideas on how we can help him improve and come up with a plan to increase his level of engagement. I enjoy having Johny as a student and want to make sure he is reaching his potential. Let me know how I can help.
