Well, October came and went, and I am still wondering what happened to October? October was jam-packed with so many things to know and learn. At my school, we complete our first parent-teacher conferences this month. During this time, I have the kids share there personal interest inventory with their parents, as well as, the student self-reflection on behavior and classroom skills. It is a good talking point for what can be improved over the next quarter. My teammates and I fill out a very comprehensive conference planner so that each of us can give feedback for all students without being present at all 81 conferences. This tool has been very helpful! Finally, I ask the parents for any of their burning questions or comments about third grade. Asking them how they feel is also important. This is not to say that I don't ever remind both student and parent which one of them attends third grade, but people like to feel validated and listened too.
Happy Conferencing!
