We are halfway through our first semester of kindergarten and last Friday our kindergarten families received NWEA MAP scores and iReady reports. Today, your child's teacher will be emailing you a report of your child's Learning Habits. You can expect an email between 1:00- 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, after students are released.
The Learning Habits are a part of the report card and because we are mid-way through the semester, we wanted to provide you with a picture of how your child is doing. Below is an explanation of how we will report on both academics and learning habits in the January report card. We report on 10 Learning Habits in kindergarten as our students are developing these skills.
Academics and Learning Habits will be reported separately allowing teachers to identify and address specific behaviors that may impact student learning. Learning Habits are aligned with ROAR expectations: Respect, Ownership, Accepting, Ready. Students will be assessed using the same performance ratings such as Exemplary (4), Meeting (3), Approaching (2) and Beginning (1). The rubrics for each Learning Habit are linked below in English and Spanish.
Kindergarten Report Card Learning Habits (10):
Respect: Demonstrates respect to adults, Demonstrates respect to peers, Demonstrates respect to property
Ownership: Accepts responsibility for actions, Participates in class
Accepting: Willing to listen to other ideas, Resolves conflict appropriately
Ready: Follows school/classroom rules and routines, Prepared with materials for learning, Works independently and productively
During your child's parent-teacher conference coming up later this month, you will be discussing the learning habits as well as an update on your child's progress in literacy and math.
