Progress Report Card Comments

Today I am feeling liberated! This week our school had it's District Review. Principals and the superintendent visit every single teacher to check out what is happening in the classrooms. They ask the students questions (What are you learning? How do you know when you are successful?) and watch a bit of a lesson. This was a 15 minute visit but a lot of preparation goes into it. I will share my lesson later on this week.

I also just finished my report cards! Yay! These are the comments I came up with for the Progress Reports:
