First grade students do not receive a report card in November. However, if first grade students were given a report card first term, I would be using the following information:

In order for a student to receive a 4 (Advanced), s/he would need to be secure in ALL Secure and Developing level objectives.

In order for a student to receive a 3 (Proficient), s/he would need to be secure in ALL Secure level objectives and developing in ALL Developing level objectives.

In order for a student to receive a 2 (Basic), s/he would need to be secure in most Secure level objectives (developing in the remaining) and developing in most Developing level objectives.

In order for a student to receive a 1 (Exhibits Difficulty), s/he would need to be developing and/or secure in less than half of the objectives listed.
