In reading, STUDENT is reading at a grade one level. However, I am very proud of him for the growth he’s made so far this year as he has moved up five reading levels which is very exciting. That means that he is now reading at an end of grade one reading level. STUDENT is also writing at a beginning level. He has gained more independence in writing by using the speech to text on the Chromebooks. At times, he needs to be reminded to use this great tool, but knows how to use it to his advantage. In Math, STUDENT is beginning to confidently grasp some concepts in the units taught this term. He has been gaining independence with the strategies practiced in class. At times, he benefits from coaching to remember how to use the strategies taught. In Science and Social Studies, STUDENT loves to do hands-on projects and prefers to share his learning orally when providing his evidence of learning. This allows him to share what he’s learned within our units in an area that fits his strengths. STUDENT’s gentle nature and great leadership skills make him a wonderful student. I am hopeful that with strong attendance, he will continue to make gains throughout term 3.

STUDENT values people and community. He is a ray of sunshine in our school. He is incredibly kind and compassionate. This term, STUDENT was working on ensuring he asks for help whenever he needs it. As he’s growing he seems to be comparing his skills more to the skills of his peers. STUDENT is becoming less comfortable seeking help. This is worrisome because he requires support for most academic tasks but is reluctant to accept it. I highly encourage STUDENT to use his confidence to seek help whenever he needs it to make sure that he gets the most out of his next school years. In Reading and Writing, STUDENT is significantly below grade level. However, it is important to note that he has improved, especially in reading. He has built up a repertoire of strategies to decode words. In Math, STUDENT was beginning to grasp some of the concepts in the units taught this term. Again, he is most successful when completing his work with an adult to help guide him in practicing various strategies. With modification and accommodations, STUDENT met curricular outcomes this year. I’ve enjoyed getting to know STUDENT this year. He has such a pure heart and I believe that we could all learn lessons about kindness from STUDENT. Don’t ever lose that, STUDENT. Have the best summer!
