[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'd follow up with the teacher. It sounds like maybe even after the teacher spoke with you, your daughter's behavior/skills did not improve, and so her grades reflect this. Ask the teacher if she can think of anything in the class that might be distracting your daughter (sitting by the door or window, other kids) and also if there's any pattern to the behavior (difficulty refocusing after recess, if mid-morning maybe she's hungry) or may it just mean she's bored in class? Depending on the cause or causes, the teacher should be able to offer some suggestions. A few times our kid got report cards indicating "with limited prompting" under the "exercises self control" and "task completion" categories and it took a little while to figure out the causes. Ask your daughter targeted questions to help determine any causes and also let her know why it's important that X behaviors improve and then make sure she has the tools to do so.  Good luck![/quote]

Ok this is good advice.  I met with the teacher only about 1 week before report cards, and the teacher said that my dd liked to color or write in her journal instead of doing her work, so the teacher took that away, and will only return it when my dd's work is done.  Then the teacher seemed to think that if my dd did not understand the directions, she would just sit there confused and not ask for guidance, so I will work with my dd on that.  I guess I will follow back up with the teacher and also have conversations with my dd to try to ferret out what is happening.[/quote]
