Collin is an active, friendly fourth grader who loves sports and thrives on hands-on tasks. He easily follows instructions provided through visuals or technology, but sometimes rushes through longer reading or listening tasks, missing key details. Socially, he leads group activities with confidence and humor. He sometimes struggles to combine multiple steps in multi-digit math problems when working only on paper, although manipulative-based or tech-based practice helps. Collin does well explaining his thinking orally, but can get off-task if asked to complete lengthy seatwork, producing incomplete work when he must show his solutions in writing without enough support.
