[quote=Anonymous]I never wrote that I used it as a "motivational tool."  Most children in my class do not always demonstrate independence in any one skill all the time at the beginning of the year.  Therefore, they are not given an "I" for independent in that skill.  They are being held up to a standard and if I don't have evidence of them being independent in that standard, they are not given an "I."  Grades are given to children and discussed with parents as a means of progress through the year.  Most parents at my school know generally where their kids are.  If there is any concern, I don't wait until the Nov. conferences to let them know.  BTW- Most teachers in ES rarely look at the report card from the year before unless they have a concern.  We do look at DIEBELS scores in the primary grades however.  Letter grades don't start until 3rd grade.  The fact is that most kids do not demonstrate independence in the areas on their report card in the first quarter.  The few that do are usually girls or kids who have been redshirted.[/quote]
