The 3rd graders were holding student lead conferences this quarter. Yes, I can (and have) had time with Joseph’s teacher, but this was a conference where the kids run the show. It was GREAT! Joseph did an amazing job! He walked through the entire outline (they were “trained” on what do cover), showed me all his work, showed me what he does in a day, etc. He was very animated and very excited about it too. I think it was a big self-esteem boost as he was very proud of his work, went and asked the teacher when he needed help with something and just generally did a great job! 🙂 Go Jo-Jo
His teacher was very impressed too. She complimented him (to me) about how hard he worked to get ready for the conference. What I thought was going to take maybe 20 minutes lasted an HOUR! It was excellent!
