Wow! Seems like the year just began…Student-led Conferences for trimester #1 is in the history books and we’re so close to the Thanksgiving holidays! Can you believe it?
I send out a mahalo nui to Ohana 5B for your unwavering support to help “our” keiki thrive! The students so appreciated the intense listening, the many words of encouragement, the joint strategizing & offerings of assistance, and the tons of hugs and kisses as they reflected on their learning and progress made in the first trimester! Students took deep breaths, calmed their nerves, and “swam strong” to share their strengths & areas of need in core content areas, their adoption of growth mindset, on being FISH! philosophers, reflections on behavior, how teamwork is a positive force in class & so much more!
Students learn fun way to take notes. Stickman notetaking!
Here’s the week at a glance, as we all prepare for the holidays! Just a friendly reminder, if you see magenta…it is a call to students~action required & if you see blue, Ohana notification 🙂 Hope the color coding is a good visual 🙂
