Vivaan Reddy Nimmakayala

Grade 3C
Attendance: 93% Teacher: Inmaculada Rodriguez

Personal Comments:

Vivaan has consistently and confidently demonstrated his knowledge throughout these past two terms. He shows
curiosity and uses his thinking skills to make connections between previous knowledge and new insights. Vivaan is
generally a good communicator and shows good listening skills; however, he can sometimes get distracted and let his
attention drift away from the task at hand. He is also reminded to wait for his turn to share his ideas. Vivaan is making
good progress in developing his social skills during collaborative tasks. Although he can get a bit frustrated when his
classmates do not agree with his ideas, he is developing strategies that allow him to participate and have a voice in the
group. While Vivaan focusses well on the tasks that he understands, he benefits from breaks that involve movements to
help him with his thinking and completion of his work; for example, walk around the classroom or to the bathroom.
Vivaan benefits from using checklists to structure his work and meet the success criteria. It has been a pleasure to have
Vivaan in Grade 3 and I wish him the best in his learning journey.
