Dear Miss Frugal’s Teacher,
Thank you very much for the school report you sent home with Miss Frugal today, it made lovely reading.
I’m very pleased to hear that she is using pertinent word choices in an appropriate manner and that she contributes her ideas freely and listens respectfully when others speak. I’m also impressed that she is responsible and hardworking and always well behaved in your class.
I must admit I’m slightly concerned that you may have her mixed up with another child in your class because she certainly doesn’t display all of these behaviousrs at home at times. You do know which one is mine don’t you? She’s the little one with freckles and ginger hair and the rather large mouth?
Yours, Confused Mother
P.S. It’s OK, I’ve just read the bit about her needing to improve on her agility and speed – that’s my girl!
P.P.S. I note that you’ve set Miss Frugal a target of learning to use subordinating clauses by the end of the school year – If you could kindly let me know what a subordinating clause is then I may (or may not) be able to help her achieve this target. Otherwise, she’s on her own!

Dear Master Frugal’s Teacher
You have no idea how proud I was to read his report today, he has come on so well and your reassurance that he is now at the same level as his class mates brought a tear to my eye.
Thank you so much for your help and support this year, it’s made more difference than you will ever know as he’s a different little boy now that he has the confidence that he’s got from his Reading Recovery classes. He is so much happier now and you have been instrumental in that change. He still needs to build on his confidence and we’ve just sat together and read every word of his report and he has a huge, proud smile on his face.
Also, although I’m not quite sure what using ‘music as a muse’ actually means, I’m sure it’s a fantastic skill for life as will be his puppet making skills and his ‘superb’ drawing skills.
Thanks again
Yours, Relieved Mother
P.S. I’m slightly concerned by the phrase ‘Can use tools safely’ – you do know he’s only just turned six don’t you?
