Report Cards

Good Morning!
So, interesting time in school right now. Report Cards, planning parent/teacher conferences, progress monitoring, etc. etc. etc..
I finished with my report cards last Saturday or Sunday, I am not really sure. I worked really hard on them. We all do. I plan out my comments so that they are easy to read and to the point, but not harsh.
Our secretaries print them out on the Wednesday before they are due so that we can check them over. I was sick on Wednesday. :( Then I was sick on Thursday. :( I went in on Friday (finally) to find my report cards printed on the "real" paper. There were NO comments!!! NONE!
I was frantic. Not only was I coming back from being out for two days (I swear it's more work to be out, RIGHT?), but now I had to comment on ALL of them again!!! GRADEBOOK, not a big fan.
After talking calmly to my colleagues (HA!) I searched in all of the "other" folders. Well, there they were in my Social Studies folder. 1. Why are we grading first graders on Social Studies? 2. Why can't they transfer into my homeroom folder? 3. Why were they printed twice with no comments?
UGH!!!
Anyway, our secretary had to save all of my report cards again after I moved every single comment over to my homeroom folder. Live and Learn.

How do you do Report Cards? Are they linked to the Common Core? Do they look different in each grade? I am so interested in what other schools do.
Thank you for your input.

Have a wonderful day!

Report Cards DONE!!! A FREEBIE and a New Math Product!!

I have been MIA for almost a week! AHHHH! I have been so busy with the musical (Rehearsals until 10:30 at night), softball practice (my oldest is on varsity and my youngest is on modified), and everything else. :)

Our report cards are due today. We get them printed out this week so we can go over them and then send them out on Friday. We need to redo them so badly to match the CCSS. APPR has taken so much of our time this year. I love acronyms... HAHAHAHAHA!

It is also TESTING week for the upper-grade levels. I cannot imagine their stress. 

Good luck to all that are giving tests this week. :)

We finished our first weekend of "Oliver". It was a huge success. Saturday night and Sunday afternoon were SOLD OUT. We even had to put chairs in the aisle to accommodate so many people. :)

I have a FREEBIE and a new item for you in my TpT store.

The FREEBIE is a collection of writing paper for several occasions. 

The second item is my "Flippin' and Floppin'" True or False math product.

Who doesn't like flip flops???

CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.D.7 Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 – 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.

Have a wonderful day!!!
