Tomorrow is Conference Day. I really love conference day. I enjoy connecting with my students' parents. I have the privilege of teaching at a Christian school, so I am able to pray with the parents, and pray for my students with their parents. I love that! I also love all of the organization and "stuff" that has to be prepared for the meetings. I always compile a folder of information so our communication can be clear and organized. I make a cute cover sheet with a class picture on it.
This quarter I'm including a "Top 10" list of things that they need to know when they enter 3rd grade in the fall. I use that list as an opportunity to point out any areas of weakness, as well as areas that need special attention over the summer. Click on the picture for a copy.
I made this conference form to record the information I want to share. This is my "script". It helps me say everything I want to say including positive reports. Click on the picture to print a copy.
Of course, I include a handwriting and reading assessment. You can find my assessment rubrics here.
What kinds of things do you share with your students' parents on conference day? I would love to hear some of your creative ideas!
