Here is my HIT for the report card comments starting with my original post. I continued to search the web for examples and came across this wonderful website and with their permission have passed it on to you. Check it out! It's almost exactly what I was looking for. http://schools.lwsd.org/blackwell/Library/Report%20card%20grading%20rubric/Library%20grading%20Rubric%20for%20webpage.htm. Thanks to all that responded. I completed by report cards, what a daunting task. You all are a awesome group. Mary _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Hello colleagues, This is a first for me, we have to have report cards for K-2 (have always done 4-6) that we've never had before. We have a rubric to follow but I wondered if anyone had any specific report card comments librarians might use. Googled it and found comments specifically for PE and art, nothing I could find for elementary library. Anyone willing to share? Thanks in advance. Mary __________________________________________________________________ Suzanne Ng, Librarian South Mountain Elem. School returns materials on time; uses library resources appropriately; applies knowledge can locate items in library independently? and then you would mark the child: consistently ; Needs support; working to improve; unsatisfactory? __________________________________________________________________ Jill Brown, LMS Nardin Academy I don't do report cards. Was asked to, but I made the case that the library is a resource and not a class. Even those classes that come regularly for book exchange - not every kid comes (often kept in classroom or taken out for special tutoring). Kids are out sick, school is cancelled, etc., etc. I like that the library is grade free, especially for those students who need a refuge. Tehy often display a totally different picture as in the library they are not under performance pressure. If you absolutely have no choice, keep a notebook and jot down stuff you observe and take it from there. Otherwise the comments are so generic as to be meaningless. ____________________________________________________________________ Pat Bartoshesky, Librarian Highlands School (k-5) on our report cards, which use only canned comments, there is a comment to the effect of "needs to return library materials." I just discovered it and will be using it from now on. Of course I send out overdue notices, but without any assurance that they reach the parents' hands _____________________________________________________________________ Janice Conger Librarian Arrowhead Elementary We have no library specific comments but I was thinking of some custom comments that included how the student is doing with the Accelerated Reader program. I would love to add library comments such as: excellent research skills or research skills need improvement, or student knows how to find and use quality information... something information literacy specific. ______________________________________________________________________ Terry Gessner Hickory Elementary School I've been writing a short summary for parents of all the units/projects we've covered thus far in the school year (about half a page long and copied for each child in each class) and end up with a plea for them to read with their children and use the public library. It's short and sweet and I think it packs more punch than any specific comment on a little one. _________________________________________________________________________ Jane S. Mayott, Middle School Librarian Fredericksburg Christian Schools WHY report cards for K-2? What is the objective? I am thinking hard, but don't know on what criteria I would grade a five-to-seven-year old child in the library... How do you grade for 4th -6th graders? What about 3rd-5th graders? Interesting... let me know what you find out __________________________________________________________________________ Betty Winslow, Media Center Director BGCA Bowling Green, OH How about - Uses books and other library materials carefully Returns books on time Knows the parts of a book (cover, spine, etc.) Behaves in an acceptable manner in library ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Mary P.
