Student Led Conferences

Checklist - Students will use this checklist to lead their parents through each center. They will practice this process with a partner before the conference.


Welcome!
 



We are so excited that you could make it to our Open House Conferences!

Your almost 3rd Grader will lead you through what we have been working on!

Enjoy!

Centers

The order does not matter. Try to find a center that is open.

Reading Center

   Do you think that you need to practice more addition, subtraction or multiplication facts this summer? Why?

  1. Be sure to have this up and visual for parents when they come... Perhaps some of them would like to follow your blog! :-)

  2. Hello,
    My name is Judy Yess and I am from the Minneapolis 2 Blended Community. We met last month at the conference. I had to leave early due to the weather because I live in Winona. One of our assignments was to read a blog entry and leave a comment and question.
    I have looked through your blog and I am very impressed. I really liked this Open House checklist. I can just see the kids showing their parents around to all the different stations. Does this activity actually occur the evening of the parent/teacher conference?

  3. Hi Judy!
    These student led conferences will happen tomorrow night! This is my first time doing something like this, so it is a little experiment. Our school had spring conferences in February, so this is an extra one. I called each family this week to discuss test results, behavior strengths and weaknesses, and academic concerns. I covered these topics over the phone, so that when the kids come in with their parents tomorrow night, they can truly focus on the center and their child. I guess we will see how it goes! I am very excited!
