Parent/Teacher Conference - 1st 9 Weeks - 3rd Grade

We met with both teachers this morning to discuss Collin's progress in 3rd grade for the first 9 weeks.  Here is his report card.  The scores are higher than they were at 4 weeks so it looks like he is settling in and getting focused.

 

 

 

After we looked over the report card and signed it, the teachers had the following to say about Collin:

 

When working with word problems, he rushes through answering questions.  When asked redo the work, he gets the answers correct so we know he knows what he is doing but does not take the time to consider the question and choices to select for the answers.


He clearly does not like to read.  When it's time to read, Ms. Gandolfo notices he had to usually go to the bathroom and ends up not getting much reading done.  This is affecting other subjects such as Social Studies and Science because there is reading involved when answering the questions.


Great with Spelling including the more difficult bonus words.  However, when it comes time to write a story, he does not spell well and, generally, does not include ANY punctuation, including periods.  When asked to edit his writing, he scores high, capturing most of the mistakes.

 

They both said he is:

• Very social but this group of kids seems to be more social than others.  He is not disruptive but does talk which is why his daily conduct is an S and not an E.
• Respectful to the teachers
• Sweet boy

Both teachers would like to see Collin use his social skills to be a leader in the class.
