General Comment (STUDENT D)

STUDENT D is a bubbly and fun member of Year 1/2. She has a great sense of humour and is getting better at
laughing at herself when she makes a mistake. STUDENT D has made a strong effort this semester to ensure
she has more control over her emotions and to not let the small things get to her. Her commitment to solving
problems independently and in an efficient manner will serve her well in the coming semester. STUDENT D
has potential to be a strong leader within the classroom and is not afraid to share her opinion or suggestions. I
encourage STUDENT D to continue removing herself from distractions, as she has been doing so well. She
takes great pride in her work and is happy to share completed tasks with her peers. Although I love STUDENT
D’s attention to detail, she is frequently encouraged to complete work in a timelier manner to ensure all tasks are
completed before class ends. STUDENT D is always willing to contribute to class and group discussions with
confidence. I look forward to seeing STUDENT D’s growth next semester. Well done, STUDENT D.
