K-5 Starting up your PowerTeacher for Progress Reports. 2013-2014.
Your ELA and Math come right from the Common Core. Your SS and Sci are what you had on your
Progress Reports. There is a section called HR. These are Habits of Learning. These all came from your
Progress Report as well.
When you are doing your HR you will give them the following:
C=Consistently
S=Sometimes
R=Rarely
There is one place at the end to write comments.
When you do your ELA, Math, SS, and SCI you will use the following:
1=Beginning
2=Developing
3=Secure
There are many areas for you to make comments on the standards.
