Spring Portfolio Parties
The 1st Grade Team is excited to announce that we will be having spring portfolio parties! These student led gatherings will be the new format for our spring conferences. This format is similar to the student-led parent/teacher conferences that have been held in the past.
During each 20 minute time block, small groups of children will meet with their parents to showcase their progress in first grade. With assistance from the teacher, the children will be responsible for choosing the items that are being shared during the portfolio party. We know you will be proud as you listen to your child while he/she shares information about the First Grade Year. Please come prepared with 2 or 3 thoughtful questions to ask your child. The children will look forward to answering your questions. The teachers will act as facilitators as they circulate within the small group. Report cards will be sent home separately and will not be a part of the discussion.
I will send home letters next week with portfolio party times.
