My stats tell me that there is a growing demand for report card remarks/comments that serve as good references during assessment. I was able to salvage some of these in my laptop and thought of adding them to the list I made before… These are 1st term remarks that I made for my Nursery students…
George easily grasps new ideas presented in class. He listens attentively and participates actively during discussions. He also appears to be inquisitive- often asking questions about things that interest him.
Shiela works on assigned tasks with minimal promptings. Her patience when working with table assignments indicates a sense of maturity for her age. She is encouraged to display the same demeanor when playing and conversing with peers.
JonJon is seen to be more confident to express his thoughts in school. He is now observed to initiate and sustain conversations with a few of his classmates and is starting to build relationships with them. He has also become quite participative in class as he readily answers simple questions.
Janey is starting to be more lax and comfortable in class. She now seeks other children during playtime activities and seems to enjoy mingling with them. Her growing confidence is also manifested in her willingness to participate in classroom discussions.
Marge enjoys being given duties and responsibilities. She often volunteers to do particular tasks but sometimes, gets upset if other children are called. She is, however, learning to be more patient.
Trish is gradually becoming independent- she now works on tasks by herself even with her caregiver around. She is encouraged to be on time when she comes to school so she can be fully adjusted to the classroom setting.
Rose is gradually building a good number of vocabulary presented in class. She can name familiar pictures and can associate them to their functions. She is, however, still urged to be more participative in many classroom tasks.
Hi, Teacher Tin…!
I’m Jec, teaching preschool children in Singapore. I needed to do a narrative progress report and chanced upon your blog. It really is a great help. Sometimes kasi, you’ve written them all that everything sounds so boring already. Galing mo naman. I’m inspired to write better comments.
All the best!

Hi…!
You were asking about the Singapore system of education. I can’t really comment on the primary, secondary and tertiary systems. I can only speak for the preschool system of education. Generally, the educational environment is the same anywhere. We have Montessori schools, Piagetian schools, IBB schools, Multiple Intelligence schools and schools with eclectic philosophies (meaning a little bit of High-Scope, Reggio Emilia etc.) It all depends on the parents where they want to send their child. So I don’t think we are far behind. In fact, my niece who was in Nursery at a small village school in Paranaque found K1 boring here. They were just teaching her how to write, but she already knew how. She needed to be challenged but that was their curriculum so we focused on her social skills instead. How she adapted to the new environment and made new friends and learn Mandarin for the first time.
Learning through Play is the ‘in’ concept that the Ministry of Education (MOE) is promoting. And most of the kindergartens are carrying it out through the use of learning centres. There are some schools that use worksheets at K1 and K2 while some object to it totally. MOE also encourages schools to issue portfolios. Another ‘in’ thing. So that’s where I used the comments found in your blog. In the school I work in, we write about how the child is doing in 5 domains every other month. So since I have 15 children, that’s 15×5 domanisx3months for this semester ending in June. That’s a “lot of English”. hahahaa.
Our school year starts in Jan and ends in November. Generally, most preschools have 10 weeks and then 1 week break in March. 10 weeks again and 4 weeks break in May-June. 10 weeks and then 1 week break in Sept. 10 weeks again and then 6 week break in Nov-Dec.
I really find your blog interesting and am amazed with your time management skills. Kudos to your supportive hubby and children.
Cheers
Jec
