Conferences

Our school district does mid-term conferences. This means that in between quarters we have to meet with teachers verus at the end of the quarter when the report cards come out.  Tonight was our first conference.

Ann was first and had a student led session. This is where she talks about her grades and the teachers just walk around and you can ask them questions when they wonder by. She is doing well and I am very happy with her progress.

Next it was off to the high school and wait and wait and wait in line to visit with John's teachers. I didn't get to one teacher as it was time for Vern's conference.

The smaller kids are also tackling the student led conference. This was the first time and Vern was AMAZING!  There were 7 people in the room and he spoke really well and did everything he was supposed to do. He had to read an exerpt out of a book and then finish the story. He had to talk about the centers he does. Then Vern read a worksheet he did about things he does well.

The highlight for me was Vern's rendition of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. Vern had to rewrite and change the story so his story was Goldilocks and the 3 Dinosaurs.  I will try to tell Vern's story and I am sure I will not give it justice. I would have typed it here but we were not allowed to keep that one.

Goldilocks got in a boat and rode for an hour before she came to land. Here she saw a house without a roof. In she went and saw a table full of MEAT.  The first plate of meat was too hot. The second plate of meat was too juicy and the third plate of meat was just plain discusting!  After all that meat Goldilocks had to go sit down. The first chair was way to big, the second chair was way to hard and the third chair was just right. Next Goldilocks decided to go up stairs when she got there she saw 3 dinosaurs in bed. She screamed and went running from the house. The baby dinosaur asked if he would ever see the little girl again and he didnt.

Hearing Vern read this story was great, especially the meat part. He had us all laughing.  We all praised Vern and he seemed to just glow with all the attention. KEEP up the good work Vern...
