Ds7's 2nd grade report card is pretty boring - they get a Proficient, Improving, or something else I forget. It says "above grade level" for reading - and his teacher confessed that she didn't even test his reading level, as the aim is for 2nd graders to be at level 28 by the end of the year - and she knew that his 1st grade teacher had tested him up to level 50 for both reading and comprehension. He got P's for everything except music, which was a not so surprising "I". He did get an "E" in art (for some reason you can get an "exceeds expectations" in the specials, but not in regular class work) He got a separate 3rd grade math report card - all "P"s, plus a 96% for the 1st quarter. His 3rd grade teacher also said he's in the top group (of 4 kids) in math. They're focusing on figuring out answers to the same problem in different ways, and showing their work on paper. Can't wait until they get past that !!
