It has been a while since I have blogged... So I am going to do a couple of different posts. But this one is going to be about parent teacher conferences.
Our school had parent teacher conferences right before Thanksgiving. It was definitely a good experience. With my first placement my teacher let me come to back to school night, which was great to see how she ran that, and just to get ideas. And now with this placement my teacher let me come and sit in on parent teacher conferences which was another great experience. The parents were very understanding as well. My teacher just explained that I was her student teacher and they were all fine that I was there. It was really sweet because the one parent said her son had told her about me :) It was sweet because I was not sure if my kids went home and told their parents about me but this little boy did. It was just sweet and a little reminder of why I teach. That it is for the students. That I want to teach them and make a difference in their lives.
It's great to get the different sides to parent communication. Sounds like a great thing to be able to sit in on the Parent-Teacher Conferences. Also...of course the children are going to talk about you...you're someone new and exciting. I think it's the only time you can be happy that someone was talking about you and you didn't know it. :)
