COMMENTS: blurb
1=This quarter in science we began the quarter by reviewing the scientific method and designing our own experiment.  We then moved on to studying the properties of matter, such as mass, weight, and density, and then applied these concepts to properties of water.   These fundamentals have laid out the groundwork for our next units on atmosphere and weather.  
2=This quarter in science we applied our first quarter lessons on properties of matter in order to understand atmosphere and weather.  We learned how to read weather maps and what causes different types of weather and how hurricanes occur.  We also had a unit on addiction, alcohol, tobacco and drugs.  We looked at what causes addiction, and what each drug physically does to the body and mind.  At the end of the quarter, the students went online as drug scene investigators to investigate imaginary 
3=--------
4=This quarter in science we have been focusing on the scientific method and on chemistry.  We started the year reviewing the scientific method and creating our own lab procedures in order to get them to use their critical thinking skills.  We then moved onto chemistry, looking at the make up of an atom and how different parts of the atom can cause changes about the atom’s properties.  We also did an extensive study on nuclear decay and radioactivity.
5=This quarter in science studied the trends within the periodic table and how the periodic table is organized.  Students then used this knowledge to predict how elements come together to form molecules via ionic and covalent bonds.  We experimented with behavioral differences between covalent and ionic bonds and which ions readily bond and which ones do not.  We learned about conservation of matter and how to balance chemical equations with mathematics, manipulatives and computer simulations. Thi

COMMENTS: confidence
1=#N sometimes needs particular encouragement to overcome #h lack of confidence.  
2=#N often seeks for validation of #h answers and #e is almost always correct. #E is bright and #e should trust #s.
3=Often, #e begins to panic early in the lesson. This makes it harder for #m to learn and it would help if #e trusted in #h abilities and gave it a chance to sink in before shutting out the information.
4=However, there are times when #e loses confidence in #h science abilities and convinces #s that #e can’t do certain problems. With a little encouragement and support, I’m sure this will resolve.

COMMENTS: hw
1=On occasion, #N forgets to turn in #h assignment in on time.
2=#E has had many late and missing assignments this quarter.  When #e does make up the work, it is generally after we have moved on to a new topic and therefore #e has missed the practice phase before the test.  This in turn has lead to poor test scores.  
3=Sometimes #N forgets to do #h work at home and often rushes in the first five minutes of class to complete #h work.  
4=--------------------------------------
5=#H grades tend to fluctuate up and down all areas, suggesting that #e may not be fully grasping some areas and should come in for extra help from time to time.
6=#N can get easily distracted in school and which often leads to careless errors or rushed work.  Focusing more on #h work will lead to improvements in the quality of #h work. 
7=#E is easily distracted in school and needs to improve in #h work habits.
8=#E has had a few incomplete assignments this quarter, which is often an indication that #e forgot that it was due.

2=#E ha a tendency to be very social during labs and does not pay attention to the details, leading to careless errors.

1=#E is bright and I encourage #h to start next quarter out on a strong note rather than scrambling at the end to bring it up.
2=I believe that with just a little more effort on #h part, we will see an improvement in #h grade.
3=One suggestion for #N is to not give up so easily.  I often see that if it doesn't come to #m immediately, #e won't push #s until #e gets it.  With a little more "stick to it", #e could excel. 
4=I also recommend that #e come in for extra help a day or two before a test.  
5=#E also has a tendency to do the minimum possible to get by.  #E is smart and should take pride in #h work.

COMMENTS: tests
1=#H test scores #testing this quarter.  
2=#N's weak area this quarter was #? and I recommend that #e review and get a better grasp of this topic before finals.

4=Overall, #e does well, but #h test scores fluctuate which indicates that #e may not be grasping everything.
