School Life

Also in March our school had "student-led conferences," where the parents come to school, not to conference with teachers, but their child. The students meet with their parents and lead them in a conference about how they are doing and what they have been learning. The students prepare a portfolio of work to show and also tour their parents around the school. It is a fun time to step back and see how far our students have come since the beginning of the year. Here are a few pictures someone snapped that I thought I would share so you could get a taste of what goes on in school life here:

Hi Em,
I always wanted to do this. All of our elementary schools do this, and the other 2 middle schools have student led conferences; for some reason we never got on board. It's a wonderful idea; students take ownership. See you soon.
Love,
