3-27-17

The 5th grade of glenridge elementary had student led conferences to show their parents how they had become experts on the topics they have learned.They were so good to the point where they can be a teacher on that topic. This was in the month of march. The students spent days preparing for their conference.

The 5th grade students of glenridge elementary were going to have conferences but they’re leading them. The students chose a topic in each homeroom subjects. They prepared for the topics for days.The stations were: Math with multiple topics like decimals, Socials studies had topics like Colonies etc. The students brought their parents in on their conference day, They took their parents to each station teaching them about it and having them do some of it. “I thought they were pretty good and went well.” Christian said.

The students were excited to lead their conference and become the teacher on topics they were experts on. Their will be more conferences in their future.

My Conference

The first conference in Rhadi’s new school. he wasn’t that nervous at first.They were talking then the teacher (Ms.Barnes) showed them something he did silly, and his parents laughed. he know’s it was with why. he does not know why, but he felt embarrassed.

So he and his mom got out the car and there were grey clouds, raining,and it getting darker by the minute.  So he guessed it was bound for somebody to feel weird?  So when they were going in the school he cracked a couple jokes.  But when they came in the class it was strictly seriousness.  So they talked about the grades and how he was doing socially.

But then she brought up something he did silly on work.  So of course his parents laughed.  And for some reason, he felt kind of embarrassed. He did’nt tell his parents, but they know now.  But he had to get with it, so he laughed to.  And then they talked about the rest,and then when they walked out.  Then his dad said, ”I’m so proud of you, for adjusting to a new school so quick” and he said ”thank you.”  And his mom said ”and thank you for being so quick to agree to have to change schools.” he said ”your welcome” and they walked out of  his first conference in his new school.

5B’s first parent teacher conference

5B’s first parent teacher conference

By Siqi

  

It happened on October 17, 2016. The 5B students and parents are going to have a conference with their teacher at a scheduled time.

It all happened in 5B’s classroom. The students and parents came in at their scheduled time to meet with the teacher, Mrs Barnes. “I feel like I know more about my daughter” said Juanli Pan, Siqi Xu’s mother. Why this happened? Mrs Barnes wanted to meet with her student’s parents of course

Not all students decided to stay with their parents during conference, several students hung out in the library while waiting for their parents to finish. Parents that are too busy or simply don’t have time were understandably absent and did not attend the meeting.          

Some students were also absent during conference, “ I haven’t been to the conference” said Liam Ferguson, a student of 5B. How will the next conference go? Stay tuned to find out.
