Our week was as short and sweet as this update will be! We had a week of transition all around. The weather went from winter, last weekend, to spring, this week! We saw our warmest temperatures on Thursday since last October, and we transitioned from daylight savings time back to standard time giving us an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day! With all of these transitions we are reminded that the final trimester of the school year is upon us and we are now in the final push for the end of the school year! We still have so much to accomplish before we get there!
This week we spent much of our time preparing for our Student Led Conferences (SLC). Although the LSUU schools have been having SLC for several years, the pandemic has put a halt to them the past two years, so this was basically new experience for all of the students (third graders had SLC in Kindergarten). It was so nice to welcome you all into our classroom again! Being a witness to these conferences is such an honor as a teacher. EVERY student rose to the occasion and presented their work and data with such pride. When children have a SLC it is their chance to shine! Even if the data and work are not perfect, we look for the positive and focus on the growth. In preparing for our conferences we did a lot of reflecting and goal setting. It is not always easy to reflect on our work and look for areas to improve, but every student did this with integrity and grace! One parent let me know that when their SLC was over their child expressed to them, "That was fun!". Thank you all for taking the time to sit and listen to your child share their work and for all your encouraging words and thoughtful comments. Mastery reports will be sent home sometime in the next week. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out.
I will be sending home a parent survey next week so you can give me your feedback on SLC's. Please take a moment to fill out the survey with your comments, suggestions, and observations and return it to school. You do not need to include your name unless you want to.
Next week we have ECO on Wednesday (March 23rd) from 9-12
I need one or two parents volunteers and firewood. Please let me know if you can help.
If your child has rain pants, please send them (even if it is not raining), as well as waterproof footwear. This is the time of year the ground is very wet!
Please EMAIL me your school lunch orders for Monday - Thursday.
The Dryden's are on the Schedule for Hot Lunch next Friday.
That is it for this week!
