Fall

Tis the season for cool weather, pumpkins, leaves, and conferences!!! I love this time of the year for many reasons. Some are personal, such as the cool weather and the beautiful leaves, but I also love the fun things you can do with students. We were able to find a few minutes to decorate a pumpkin yesterday. You have to mix a little fun into their day. Our week was filled, especially with conferences. Since we are following a family model, we are conferencing with ALL fourth grade parents together. We successfully completed 18 conferences last week. We have 23 to go! It was refreshing to meet with the parents and communicate needs of their children and successes. I truly enjoy following the family model because it brings cohesiveness to our grade. Even though I may be a little tired from all the conferencing, it is well worth it!
