Student Led Conferences

This Wednesday we will be hosting our annual Student Led Conferences.  Students will be dismissed at 1:45 to allow for these.  The conferences will run from 2:00 – 4:30 and then from 5:00 – 6:20 p.m.  Most of you have indicated the time slot which works best for you.  Confirmations will be going home tomorrow.  If you have not yet returned your form, please do so tomorrow.

Typically the conference takes about 20 – 30 minutes to complete.  Once you are done you are encouraged to go and check out the Scholastic Book Fair that Mrs. Anstee has arranged for us.

Goodbye, Ms. Sue

Last Friday we had to say good-bye to Ms. Sue.  Earlier in the week I had read the book “The Important Book”, by Margaret Wise Brown, to the class.  Students then each made a page for our class book which was titled “The Important Things About Ms. Sue”.  Each student used their own unique experience with Ms. Sue to write and draw about what they felt was something that was important about her.  This was put together (with photographs of events from her time with us) into a book that I am sure she will treasure forever!

We then presented her with a ‘suitcase’ full of books and other items to start her on her ‘teaching journey’.
