Family Conference Week

What will children create with empty boxes

Next week, my partner teacher and I will meet with all the families from our teaching/learning teams.

We're looking forward to these conferences, a time when we'll pose the following questions and comments:

• Tell us about your child, what you hope for in the year ahead, and ask any questions you may have.
• We want to know, is your child happy at school? What can we do to support his/her engagement?
• We have a number of assessments, both formal and informal, we'd like to share with you.
• Let's create goals for the year ahead.

The information we collect from all families will impact the program delivery and design.

This weekend we'll review the data and prep the student folders as we prepare for these meetings.

To complement all these meetings, the classroom will find the students and I completing past projects, prepping for a unit math test, taking the test, reading Wonder, and continuing our life science studies and STEAM (including Monday's Global Cardboard Challenge) indoors and outdoors. 

The 2014-2015 fifth grade journey continues.
