Alakoulun viimeiselle, viidennelle siirretty Iso-O:

Kaikki Iso-O:n numerot olivat 3, mutta sekä matematiikassa (Problem Solving and Mathematical Practices) että englannissa (Writing)  yksi numeroista oli 4. Opettajan sanallinen arvio on alla kopioituna.

Iso-O has continued to be a delightful presence in our classroom. She has maintained a positive attitude towards her learning and she consistently completes tasks thoughtfully, follows directions well, and takes great responsibility for her learning. She is a highly motivated learner who sets high expectations for herself. Iso-O remains an excellent mathematical thinker. She consistently pushes herself to use a variety of strategies in solving challenging problems. In addition to excelling in math, her reading comprehension has continued to be solid. She has become a more reflective thinker by using her critical thinking skills to find deeper meaning from a text. Iso-O has truly developed as a writer. Her latest piece on, “The Birmingham Campaign” was well researched and eloquently written. Iso-O has done a terrific job this year and has been an absolute pleasure to teach. I have no doubt 5th grade will be another great year!

Alakoulun toiselle luokalle siirretty Pikku-O:

Pikku-O:n numerot olivat isosiskon tavoin 3, mutta yksi numero jäi kakkoseksi (Visual Art: Effort and Engagement). Opettaja arvioi häntä seuraavasti:

Pikku-O is respectful and kind to his classmates and is well liked in return. At times, Pikku-O will act silly when he should be working independently. He requires adult support to help him work for a sustained period of time. During a guided reading lesson Pikku-O reads with fluency and has been working on writing thoughtful responses to specific questions about the text. He enjoys discussing stories with the reading group and applying comprehension strategies. Pikku-O is able to add and subtract single digit numbers with increased speed and is using place value to help him add and subtract two digit numbers. The quality of Pikku-O’s written work has improved throughout the year. He has worked hard to stretch out his ideas when writing about a small moment, a review, or a non-fiction book. I wish Pikku-O the best in second grade.

Seiskaluokkalaiseksi siirretty E:

E ei saanut sanallista arviota, mutta kaikki aineet olivat A tai A+. Science jäi A:ksi käyttäytymisen vuoksi; hän oli niin turhautunut sen yksinkertaisuuteen, ettei malttanut olla huutelematta epäasianmukaisuuksia. Murrosikä lähestyy.. Aineet olivat muuten samoja kuin alakoulussa, mutta lisäksi häntä arvioitiin ranskankielessä, puhallinorkesterissa ja draamassa. Arvosanoja oli alakoulusta poiketen vain 1/aine, mikä on lähempänä Suomen käytäntöä (*luulen*).

Nyt on Lunchboxit laitettu hyllylle odottamaan. Lapsilla on loma.
