Coming to the End of a BUSY Week!

Conference week is always a looonng week! But this time, conference week included some pretty cool blessings!
1) My first ever Donors Choose project was fully funded in just 7 days!
2) Parent volunteers and mentors came to help our students!
3) Lunch/dinner was provided both days of conferences!
4) Coffee delivered on a busy day!
Thankful for these "extras" and that conferences were well attended.  We only have 3 "make-ups" out of 54 students.  Mostly, I'm thankful tomorrow is Friday!

Student Led Conferences

For the second year in a row, my teaching partner and I are having our students lead our parent teacher conferences.  It is very rewarding to have the students sharing goals with their parents and giving parents specific ways that they can help.  The kids are very excited to finally get to the actual conferences, after practicing with each other and preparing for the last couple of weeks.  They wrote a goal for writing, reading, math and behavior.

'Twas the week before conferences and all through the school....

Wow! It's hard to believe it is already Parent Teacher Conference Time! We are busy preparing our 54 students for their meetings. Nearly all of them will be leading the conferences with their parents. They have set their goals for reading, writing, math and behaviors. Peer conferencing practice will be taking place over the next few days.  Bring on the parents!
