Fröknarnas omdömen om Alvin

Alvin har fått sin första ”Student Report” från Manly West Primary School (känns fortfarande overkligt att vår son går i en australiensisk skola). Måste bara få skryta lite över honom. Gissar att detta inlägg endast intresserar de närmast sörjande, men i alla fall.

Förutom en hel massa kolumner där Alvins fröken har kryssat i hur det går för honom i de olika ämnena (inkl uppförande där han fick bästa möjliga "betyg"!) fanns det några skriftliga kommentarer. Here they come:

”Alvin has made excellent progress in all areas of English this semester. He is able to understand and follow instructions to complete tasks and asks for help when needed. Alvin is becoming more confident speaking in sentences and will benefit from practise in this area over the holidays. He speaks clearly to contribute to class discussions and enjoys sharing his news each week. Alvin is able to read simple texts with good comprehension. Alvin has excellent handwriting and his ability to communicate his knowledge and ideas on his own in writing tasks is improving.”

(Fin handstil! Gen från lilla mammsen, det.)

“Alvin is a capable mathematician who has very good understanding of the concepts we have covered this year. He enjoys Maths activities and grasps new concepts with ease. As Alvin’s reading improves he will be able to complete written Maths questions more independently.”

(Bra på matte! Direkt nedstigande gen från pappsen.)

“Alvin has made excellent progress since he joined 1S. He is a capable student and participates in all classroom activities with enthusisam. Alvin has become more confident speaking in sentences and enjoys contributing to class discussions. He is a happy, popular student and has made wonderful friendships within the class. Alvin can be easily distracted by others which can lead to him missing important information and instructions. He has been a pleasure to teach and we wish him all the best in Year 2.”

(Lätt att bli distraherad. Här har hans mosters genbank gått i arv.)

Åsså input från hans extralärare i engelska:

”Alvin has made very strong progress this semester. His reading and general comprehension of simple texts has improved substantially. His comprehension of spoken English including instructions, questions, descriptions and stories is quite strong. His spoken English has not kept pace with other areas of language development. It would benefit Alvin to orally review his day each evening, to be assisted in expanding this review, and then to repeat this review. Alvin has worked very well and is to be commended for his effort.”

(Vi tycker att hon ska vara glad att Alvin över huvud taget säger något eftersom han tycker att lektionerna är så dötrista, att han bara vill att de ska ta slut. För att piffa till dem något passar han på att hitta på en massa saker som han har gjort – men som inte helt överensstämmer med verkligheten...)

För sju månader sedan sträckte sig Alvins engelskvokabulär till ice-cream, yes och no, och han grät när jag lämnade honom i skolan.

Behöver jag säga att Jonas och jag är stolta som tuppar?
