Ontario Report Card Comment Writer: Learning Skills and Subjects

Throughout the school day, Ava shows many of the habits of a capable, responsible learner. Ava keeps her desk and folders in excellent order and reliably finds needed materials quickly. Ava consistently hands in class work on or before the due date, and her finished work shows care and full effort. Keeping a "what to do when I am stuck" list in her notebook will help Ava keep working instead of waiting for help. I look forward to seeing Ava build on this positive start.

In the first term, Ava has shared ideas clearly in class discussions and in written work in Language, usually with accurate detail. Ava asks relevant questions to check her understanding of stories, instructions and presentations, and can retell the key points accurately. When reading, Ava makes sensible predictions and generally confirms or changes them using clues from the text. Next steps: She can use a planning checklist when creating multimodal texts to match each design choice to the purpose and audience and to record sources. With continued practice on these goals, Ava will keep growing in the second term.
