[quote=Anonymous]It’s not bad; In fact it’s normal. There is a huge range of skills, potential, and behavior in the younger grades. In every classroom there will always be a few kids who need extra time in order to master something. In some cases, it’s an ongoing thing. For example, there might be a child who is a strong reader but whose spelling makes writing feel more laborious. In some cases, it’s temporary. Sometimes the school-provided lesson plans clicked with most of the class, but a few children needed information presented differently in subsequent lessons. “Off” days or absences can also set a kid back temporarily. There are two tricks with this type of report card. The first is to learn that it has zero correlation to an A-F scale. The next is to realize that the goal is grade-level mastery by the end of the year. If your child always met or exceeded expectations the first time, he would have very little need to be in school learning these skills.[/quote]
