Parent Conferences...

The past couple of days the kiddos have been out of school for Parent-Teacher conferences. They are a bit different than the "traditional" conferences in the fall... these are student-led conferences, meaning the kids take you through their classroom and show you what they do. Usually Stewart goes so that he knows what the kids do at school but this year the times worked out that we all went together .

First up was Walker who thought that he was going to play the role of teacher and have us do all the centers... he was thoroughly disappointed when I read the signs to him which stated... Have your child name all the letters and sounds in 1 minute. So he was like, "Uggh... this is just like a regular school day!"   Ainsley was dying to do the work... Ha!

We got to the last station which was his teacher's desk... she handed out his report card and he did fine but doesn't know how to write his last name... What?? So we immediately came home and got that covered... funny how you forget the little things to go over.

Ainsley was up next and went through her desk...

Showed us a few writing assignments in her binder, read part of her reading book and showed us a few current papers and then was ready to go home. Cracks me up how shy they are when the focus is solely on them.   So it was a very quick conference... which is good I suppose.
