Yes, it is already that time of year... Report Card Time!! If you are like me, you dread this time of year. Here are some tips to make report card time a little easier:
- Notify students of which tests they will be taking during the week. In college I always knew what would be on the test and could study for the test. Elementary students should be treated with the same kind of respect. Give them a chance to develop good study skills and help them prepare for upcoming tests.
-Keep a file for each student and file all tests and papers to help evaluate the students and fill out the report cards.
-Give yourself plenty of time to do the grades. Don't wait until the last minute or you will be more likely to make careless mistakes.
-If you are like me, reward yourself with something small once you have finished the report cards. My reward is a coffee from Starbucks.

Do you mean that the students do not know in advance what test they will have to take?
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this before.
I teach second grade, but I've taught kindergarten and first in the past. Usually in kindergarten and first the students don't study for tests on their own, so I never told them what was on the test ahead of time. Of course, I did review with them before the test. Second graders are beginning to learn what it means to study, so I tell them ahead of time what to study for upcoming tests.
