Preparing Report Cards for Preschool (Simple, Fair & Friendly)

Overview & Templates

• Keep it short: 5–7 domains (language, early math, motor, social, habits).
• One page: checkboxes + short comment box.
• Levels: ✅ independent · 🟡 with help · 🔴 practice.
• Evidence-first: notes/photos from class activities.

Skills & Indicators (Write What You See)

• Language: names common objects; speaks 3–5 word sentences.
• Early Math: counts to 10; compares more/less; matches numeral ↔ quantity.
• Motor: pencil grasp; cuts on line; beads string pattern.
• Social: shares turn; follows 2-step directions; tidies area.
• Habits: attends 8–10 mins; responds to quiet signal.

Evidence Collection (Little & Often)

• Mini notes: 1 line per child weekly (e.g., “blends /at/ with prompt”).
• Photo tags: center task + child name + date.
• Exit checks: “show 7”, “find /s/”, “sequence 3 pictures”.
• Folder: keep 2 samples per domain per term.

Rubrics & Levels (Fair & Clear)

• 3-level scale: ✅ independent · 🟡 with help · 🔴 practice.
• Descriptors: define what “independent” looks like for each skill.
• Consistency: use the same prompt length and materials.
• Bias check: rotate order; avoid only calling confident students.

Comments & Tone (Strength → Evidence → Next Step)

• Start positive: “Mina listens carefully and tries new tasks.”
• Add evidence: “Counts 6–8 with counters; writes 1–3 neatly.”
• One target: “Next: practice /s/ words with picture cards.”
• Plain words: no jargon; keep sentences short.

40-minute Reporting Workflow

1. 8 min — Sort notes/photos by child (domains).
2. 10 min — Mark levels (✅/🟡/🔴) for 2 domains.
3. 10 min — Write 2 short comments (strength + evidence + target).
4. 8 min — Double-check fairness (order, prompts, samples).
5. 4 min — Save/export + share with coordinator.
