Ty's first report card

Kindergarteners don't get report cards the first marking period, so second marking period was the first time for them. Overall he did very well, but I had to laugh at the grading system. Instead of the traditional A, B, C, D or F they had codes like C for "consistently demonstrating". Considering they spelled out the codes in alphabetic order, it gave no indication which code was necessarily better than the other. I know "N" for "not observed" is worse than "C" for "consistently demonstrated", but I have absolutely no idea if it's preferable to have a grade of "beginning" or "emerging". Who comes up with this stuff? Anyway, Tyler had all good marks and I'm very proud of him!
