Student Led Conferences

This week we are going to have our student led conferences. Students have been busily preparing for the conferences the past several days.  Each student will walk their parents through a typical day and discuss goals that were set during the first SLCs. Students will be reviewing finished work samples that they have selected from their portfolios.  Please remember that SLCs are not parent teacher conferences.  Teachers will play a minimal role during the process.  If you do have a question or concern to address, Alexis and I are available everyday before school to meet with you.  We can also set up a phone conference call for your convenience.

I can't wait to share all of the amazing work that we have done!  This week we have been having our writers' workshop celebration.  Students have been reading their final drafts of their persuasive essays to the rest of the class.  I was amazed and very moved by how much the students have grown since the beginning of the year.  Since we have finished our persuasive essays, we are going to begin working on our letters to our heroes.  The letters will be due on April 10, the week after we return from spring break.
