I like to provide a narrative end of year report for each of the students.

This brief guide is intended to help you to understand  the format.

The report is broken into seven sections:

Linguistic: These are summary paragraphs about the student's reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Logical/mathematical: These paragraphs describe the student's computational and problem solving skills in math, and their skills in science.

Spatial: These paragraphs describe the student's ability as a 2D and 3D visual designer.

Musical: These paragraphs describe the student's ability as a musical composer and performer.

Bodily- Kinesthetic: These paragraphs describe the student's physical abilities in  sports, athletics, and drama.

Intrapersonal - the person inside: These paragraphs describe the student's self image, and include my opinions about the student's core abilities and potentials.

Interpersonal: These paragraphs describe the student's ability with other people.

 

This structure is based around the concepts explored by Howard Gardner's 'Multiple Intelligence' philosophy of Education.

I hope you find, both the guide, and the reports themselves useful in helping to bring together your thoughts about the year, and to plan for the sixth grade ahead.
