Many teachers are not entirely comfortable writing report card comments. I have spent hours and hours over the years developing and refining my report card comments. It is necessary to reflect student progress and give feedback to parents, and both groups always appreciate thoughtful comments that indicate you know the children well.
This is a set of trimester ending comments for a sixth grade science class of 19 varied students, including gifted, ESL, all ability levels, and even special needs. The topic for the trimester was human body systems. You probably know that many of these comments can be tweaked and applied to your students as you write your own comments. Why re-invent the wheel?
Helped to thaw the brain freeze.

Help
Do the comments only deal with the human body....I cover cells, force and motion, and volcanoes and earthquakes....Thanks Jack_Duquette@landon.net

Indeed, these comments are not intended to be topic-specific to any one unit(s) of study in science. They are intended to help teachers write general learning, behavior, and effort statements regarding science class, no matter what the units of study are. I hope this helps.

I have been primarily a middle school teacher for 27 years and have loved every minute of it. For me, "content is king." I believe the plans, printables, and worksheets I have created have above all else high-quality content, but are also practical and ready-to-use. Each item I sell has been used in my and colleagues' classrooms (teacher-tested) and is clearly written. I won't put any lesson or idea on TeachersPayTeachers unless I am certain YOU can understand it, teach with it today, and that it has value for children. And I can't be certain of that unless I have used it in my classroom. In the end, however, the best plans in the world won't make any impact unless delivered by a caring, committed, and enthusiastic teacher. Enthusiasm is the most under-rated aspect of a teacher's job. If your fire is out, they won't learn and will misbehave. If you are on fire, they will learn and they will behave for you. We do the most important job on Earth, and if we cannot put our hearts in it then we shouldn't stay in the classroom anymore. That's my two cents...
