Thank you for so many of the yellow conference forms that I have already recieved! If you haven’t seen a Grade 1 report card, they are divided into sections. The first being Personal Growth, and then into separate subject areas. The grading scheme is different than kindergarten, and is as follows:
4 Excellent achievement of grade level expectations
3 Meeting grade level expectations
2 Approaching grade level expectations
1 Not meeting grade level expectations
You’ll notice that the two major areas on the report card are Language Arts and Math strands. Please keep in mind that the expectations in these subject areas change throughout the year- for example the reading level goal for June is much higher than the reading level goal in November. In Science and Social, we focus on different units throughout all reporting periods.
Grade 1 is a big change from Kindergarten, and the first page of the report card focuses on Personal Growth. It’s quite the step up from half day to full day school, and each and every day we focus on things like how to be part of our classroom "team" and work together! All kids are learning how to be friends that support one another and solve problems. We are helping them develop into responsible students who can make good choices for themselves in years to come. Thanks for all you do at home to reinforce these skills! I often see examples of kindness and sharing where kids volunteer to help clean up or just offer a word of praise on a job well done.
And speaking of wonderful citizens, there is a special day coming up on November 24th celebrating the Lethbridge Regional Police Service!
