Student-Led Conferences
Student-led conferences will happen next week! This is an important opportunity for me to meet with each of my students and their parent(s). Your child will describe how they are doing on their academic work and how they behaviors contribute to this. They will then share samples of their work and perhaps data about what they have done. Finally, we will work collaboratively to develop a goal for your child and steps we can take to help him/her achieve that goal.
Conferences are officially scheduled to start Thursday at noon, but the sixth grade is special and we will be starting Wednesday afternoon! It is a challenge to schedule all 30 conferences, but all except 3 are now set up. Please be aware that we need to stay with the 20 minute time scheduled so I can keep on track. You are invited to sit spend another ten minutes at your childs desk or looking at some of the displays in the classroom. The time of your conference will be sent home Monday on a “goldenrod”-color sheet. Please complete the sheet and bring it to the conference.
I am looking forward to meeting with all of you next week.

Hi Mr. Light!!! Guess I should have gone on your blog earlier! I was wondering about the conference!!! That’s a good idea letting the students lead their own 20 minutes. AND…yes – please keep doing the blog!!! It’s informative and a great way to stay in touch with what’s going on in your big classroom!!!

Hi Mr. Light!
We loved the conference…but we didn’t get the printouts for Gunnar’s goals! Hoping you can either email them to us at docosgang@megalink.net or he can get them at school on Monday!
