Typing & Computer: Zachary's typing and computer
skills are improving, but not quite yet where I expect them to be. Grade: 3 (S)
Teacher Comments - 3rd Quarter
Zachary is an active boy with many interests. This can be one reason why he finds writing assignments
to be burdensome in particular - he would rather be biking or running around outside or reading National Geographic.
I'd like to see him really improve his writing next quarter with more depth and maturity in his analysis of literary characters
or situations and plots. This is going to be his goal for next quarter, and I realize it's not uncommon for boys to have
these academic issues.
