It was great to see all students with their parent(s) today for Student Led Conferences. Giving the students a chance to showcase what they are doing in class is a learning experience in itself. It allows students not only to internalize what they are learning, but also to become more intuitive about their learning. It is comparable to stopping to know what you know. In other words, by taking the time to consider and show others what they are learning, they become more aware of themselves as learners. It was great to see them applying their research skills at the mineral station, the 3D shape station, and reflect about their historical fiction story. They have all come a long way this year, each in their own way. We only have 8 weeks left of school, we have many areas to cover, and some to revisit as we prepare for grade 4. It promises to be a very intense but rewarding 8 weeks!
I try to get a picture of everyone at the student led conferences. This week I did not get a chance to snap a picture of Tony with his mother. I am sorry about that Tony! So I want to show this picture, which is a very representative picture of Tony in class this year.
