Monday is report card day. Here are a few thoughts starting with logistics
Keep the report card, return the envelope (keep everything if you receive your report card through the mail)!
Two household families -- copies of your report cards will be mailed to both parents, unless you let me know that you want your child to carry one report card home Monday. I always worry that both report cards will end up in one home.
Take time to read and make sense of the report card before you decide what to share with your kindergartner. The report card is meant to be an honest reflection of how your child is doing academically; consider whether this information will motivate or frustrate your kindergartner.
Be aware that some of the report card language is very clear, objective, and to the point, some of the language is very subjective, and some of the language is, simply put, not all that clear or relevant for kindergarten. My hope is that, taken together with the comments, that the report card gives you a fair overview of your child's progress.
As always, feel free to contact me with questions or concerns.
