 * As we write responses to our class novel, __Bud, Not Buddy,__ Meme's writing is clear and concise. Her handwriting is neat; she takes her time to make it appear that way. Meme's writing has surprisingly few grammatical errors--she has been taught well at her previous school. She pays attention to spelling and punctuation.**

__**September:**__  Meme has a great sense of humor that I appreciate and encourage often. She is warm, friendly, and kind to everyone, and I sense that while she can be quiet, she wants to be in the middle of the action. She can be distracted easily in the classroom, and by being more actively engaged in conversation, she is less likely to get lost.

Meme also advocated for herself by asking me when she needs clarification. I want her to continue this, and I want her to do it more often. She explained that there were concepts unclear to her on a test, and I stressed that she needs to see me anytime she feels confused or doesn’t know where to find the information.

Meme will benefit from trying different strategies to help her contextualize and remember information and to internalize study habits that work best for her. Also, she will need to pay close attention to directions on quizzes and tests. Although these are read aloud at the beginning of the period, Meme will need to reread every direction before beginning a section--paying careful attention to the amount of point awarded for each section.

__**Social Emotional**__ __**September:**__ Meme is such a wonderful addition to our classroom at Trinity. She has done a wonderful job of acclimating into a class with many children who have known each other for years. She reaches out and takes risks in making friendships and in learning new material. She even stood up and sang a song from a novel we read together!
