I look forward to seeing everyone at your scheduled conference. Please arrive on time. You'll notice that I have the conferences scheduled for 20 minutes back to back. I make every effort to keep on schedule, so if we run out of time and we still have something important to discuss, I will likely ask you to come back another time or schedule a phone conference. I know many parents have conferences with other teachers and if I start to get late, those conference times are compromised. Thanks for understanding!
At our conferences you can expect to hear about your child's
At our conferences you can expect to hear about your child's
- social skills and school behaviors
- academic progress
- recent assessments
- work samples
I will also preview the report card and how it aligns with the Common Core State Standards. The biggest change you will notice is that we are looking at end of the year benchmarks already. With this in mind, your child may look as if she or he is "below grade level" when, in fact, your child is making steady progress towards a larger goal.
Please check out the Lexia app linked above if you haven't already. It will become homework each week by the end of October.
Also, please look at the Starfall reading website that is now linked. This is not as personalized, but the students really enjoy working on this website. There is no "log in" but if you bookmark it your child could access a great website independently!
