Title: The Bad-News Report Card
ISBN #: 0-8234-1992-4
Age group/grade: K-3rd
What’s it about: Isabel knows that her report card will have all excellent on it. She has a rotten day and Adam tells her that she is going to have needs improvement written all over it. She fears that Adam is right and tries to devise a way to hide it from her parents. She tries to leave it on the bus. After all that worrying, she ends up getting the report card she wanted.
This would be a great book to use as a read aloud. It would be a great way to explain report cards to your students. It would also let them know that even though they may have one bad day, it does not effect their grades.

Report cards are a scary thing, especially when you are in elementary school
I like your idea for the activity!
Yeah I think that by reading this book aloud you would probably relieve some students.
