Sample draft (Grades 4-9, fall written learning update; Communicating and Collaborating Extending, Creative Thinking Developing, the rest Proficient):
Ava usually listens carefully to others and shares her own ideas with a clear purpose. When a group project grows complicated, Ava breaks the work into clear parts so that each member knows what to do next. Ava adjusts her tone and word choice to suit the audience, whether speaking to a younger student, a classmate or a visiting guest. A next step is for Ava to set a goal of trying one unfamiliar presentation format and reflect on how it went. I appreciate your partnership in supporting Ava's learning.

Sample draft (Grades 8-9, fall written learning update; English Language Arts and Mathematics Extending, Science Developing, the rest Proficient):
Since September, Ava has built understanding across the subjects, and the feedback that follows gives more detail. Ava moves smoothly between objects, drawings, numbers and symbols to represent a math idea and explains how the representations connect. In literary analysis, Ava examines how authors use imagery, figurative language and story structure to shape meaning, and explains these choices with insight. A next step is to practise naming the variable that changes, the variable that is measured and the things kept the same, using a fair test planning sheet. These first weeks have laid a good foundation for the learning still to come.
