This text is the result of many years developing and refining report card comments. It is necessary to reflect student progress and give feedback to parents.
This is a set of trimester and year-ending comments for a sixth and seventh grade social studies group of over 80 varied students, including ESL, weak students, average students, and gifted students. It covers key social studies skills as well as attitude and effort.
There are over 9000 words in this document, and I know you will find writing that you can pull and apply to your own students. Tweak and borrow from my examples for your students as you write your own comments.
Key Words: Report Card, Comments, Middle School, Social Studies
Mark , thank you for compiling these comments. They act as a guide for me while I work through my report cards. I like the way you say what needs to be said but in a positive manner. Well done

Help
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...
