report card comments
hi there, any teachers or parents out there who can help me out? i'm a new teacher, writing report cards, and struggling with some of my comments. i'm looking for some adjectives that are not too harsh but accurately convey naughty behavior. in particular, how would you say
- sneaky (ie. taking things out of a backpack, doing things when the teacher's not looking)
- catty and or mean (don't play with her, she's not my friend) doesn't "mala" seem like a bad or evil person?
also how would you say "needs to develop his fine motor skills"? thanks for your help!

Durante clases su hijo/a hace cosas furtiva que provoca disturbios.
During class your son/daughter does things furtively that cause a disturbance.
Su hija comporte maliciosa con sus compañeros.
Your daughter acts catty with her classmates.
Or softer you can just say ..."no comporte bien en clase", or "comporte maleducado/a en clase".
I am not real confident of some of my Spanish but here is my attempt:
Necesita desarrollar sus motricidades finas.
He/She needs to develop his fine motor skills.
Hi and welcome to the forum!
I'm going to let someone more advanced answer your questions because I'm not sure what words to use for kids, which would be much softer than those we use for adults.
Just a reminder: We have lots of students here learning English, so we'd appreciate it if you use proper capitalization, punctuation, etc., in your posts. I'm sure that you, as a teacher, understand this!
Again, welcome to the forum...hope to see you around!!
