Report Cards
Posted on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 at 12:20 amWow! This whole report card thing can get really stressful! I have been frantically testing my 27 students the past few days. We actually started 2 weeks ago. But then we lost 2 days last week…during which we would have done a lot of testing…and therefore we really had to cram it in this week. My aide and I did everything we could in every spare minute we had. I worked during recesses and she stayed late 2 days in a row to help me finish! I still have 5 students that I can’t complete their report cards. They are missing just a few tests. Report cards don’t go home till next Wednesday, but I really didn’t want to have to worry about recording assessments this weekend. As it stands right now,I have several report cards completely done. Tomorrow during our half day records day I will be able to get most of the report cards printed out and the 1st semester grades entered into the CA60s – something I have never had to mess with before. I am hoping that I can get everything done that I need to and then I will have some time to work in my room on a few things.
Oh Julie, I can still remember – after 39 years – those report card days. It is the one thing I didn’t miss when I left teaching. It is so hard, because it goes on those permanent record files. Hang in there and hope you have some me time on the weekend. I looked at your drawing the other day of the pop can and went on over to EDM website and looked at the list. So I think I’m going to attempt to start drawing some of the challenges. You inspired me. I will just pick one, since I didn’t have a pop can to do. I may post some of the drawings if I get some decent ones done. Love MOM
