student led conferences

The children have been preparing for their student led conferences throughout the week. During their conferences, they had a list of learning and experiences to share and celebrate with their families;

- share their self-reflection

- tour our classroom

- read a piece of their informational writing

- share a book from their personal library

- share work from their math journal

- teach a math game

- add on to our small and large community structures

As I listened in on the conferences, all of the children and families talked about and celebrated their recent self-portraits, captivated by the bright colors and detailed facial expressions. Older and younger siblings explored the loft and eagerly engaged in small and large building. Many older siblings shared their favorite Kindergarten memories. A few soon-to-be Kindergarteners took a quick walk through the room, too. One child said, "When I'm in Kindergarten, I'm going to have fun!" There was a strong sense of community in all of the conversations and conferences.

Below is a small collection of photographs of the self-reflections we worked on during the week and photographs from the conferences. 

Thank you for taking the time to celebrate your child's hard work and love for school!
