Report Journal

At Boutokan te Paradise JSS, I had intended to write my school report for my year seven students at the end of the first term. Since this was my first time writing a student report, I was unsure of how to go about it. I therefore needed assistance and advice. I initially believed it would be a simple assignment to complete, but as I go through it, I realize how challenging it is. The first issue I encountered when writing the report was not knowing what to say about my kids' academic improvement. I asked for assistance from other instructors so that I can learn from them how to make remarks that are easy for parents to understand regarding how well their children are doing in school.

 It gives parents a simple approach to learn what they need to know about their kids' schoolwork. Additionally, it is crucial for me to provide compliments to students who behave well in class, and this information should be included in the report's opening section.

In my school reports, parents frequently ask for my advice because they seek ideas they can utilize to strengthen their children's areas of weakness. 

I have discovered that when writing school reports, I do not have enough time to discuss or go over the subject areas included in the curriculum and the learning requirements. To illustrate how the students were doing with the curriculum, I utilized what was previously written in the curriculum and learning standard documents, used the phrases that were already available, and put ticks where the students had accomplished or hadn't. 

I've seen instruction on how to describe students' work accurately. For instance, I used the adjectives "hardworking, eager, attentive, thoughtful, and unmotivated" to describe the student's attitude in class. I utilized these many terms to characterize students' attitudes so that parents would understand how their children act at school.
