As another term draws to a close, educators around the world embark on the important task of providing thoughtful and meaningful end-of-term 2 comments for their students. Here you can find Term 1 and end-of-the-year comments too. These comments serve as a culmination of a semester’s worth of hard work, growth, and progress. In this article, we will explore the significance of incorporating social and emotional aspects into academic comments, and provide some sample comments that kindergarten and elementary teachers can utilize to inspire and support their own writing.
The Power of Holistic Comments:
While academic achievements undoubtedly play a central role in end-of-term comments, it is equally important to acknowledge the social and emotional growth that students experience throughout the term. By embracing a holistic approach, educators can nurture their students’ overall development and well-being, fostering an environment that values both academic success and emotional intelligence.
