1. P.E.

Positive:

Miguel approached the P.E. activities with a positive outlook and cooperated well with other class members.
He worked hard at trying to master new skills and applied these to class activities and games.

Throughout the locomotions units of swimming, tennis and track and field, Miguel demonstrated satisfactory body alignment, limbs in opposition and center of gravity while performing each of the essential movements.

2. Math

Positive:

Miguel has enjoyed a phenomenal first semester.
He is a highly motivated and conscientious learner, who has the ability to quickly grasp and apply new math concepts.
Miguel also assumes a great deal of responsibility for his own learning.
He consistently displayed the ability to exceed expectations with his conceptual understanding, precision when applying mathematical skills and math practices, and with mathematical applications.
Miguel should be extremely proud of these achievements and I look forward to an even more stellar second semester from him.

3. Science

Positive:

Miguel, you have had a good start to the year and you should be proud of yourself.
In order to do that you are going to need to focus on your quiz/test preparation, do all the LFM's, focus during class and making sure your work always reflects your best effort.

4. Social Studies

He handed in all of his homework, averaged a B on his assessments and scored a B on his learning behaviors.
Miguel presented his Egyptian artifact (King Tut death mask) and earned a B.
Good job this semester.

Negative:

5. RLA

Positive:

Miguel has shown improvement this semester in RLA and continues to show good growth in the basic skills.
His writing has improved; he is able to organize ideas for a specific purpose, focus on one main idea and is using more descriptive language.
He worked very hard on his personal narrative and it was obvious by reading his paper that he put a lot of emotion when writing about his fear of heights.
He was a valuable member during his book talks and contributed a lot of in depth information when sharing his thoughts with his partner.
His “Talk to an Animal” and his “Lady or the Tiger” papers showed that he can use dialogue correctly and can add humor to his writing.
Miguel also learned about the different components of short stories and continued to work on writing assignments, which included descriptive language and dialogue.
He participated in many “skit” activities and he worked very well with his peers.
He was able to participate in a positive way and at times displayed leadership qualities.
His reflections on his blog showed that he valued what he learned and shows his growing as a reader and a writer.
His daily work was consistently high and he worked hard on all his major assignments.
Great job this semester.

It was a very successful semester of Spanish for Arvin Miguel, as shown by the results in the multiple assessments he tackled since August 2013.
He is very well positioned to meet or exceed the established proficiency goal for this year, and I encourage him to keep up the good work in the second semester.
