CONFERENCE DAY
I expect to see K-5th graders present in their conferences. They need to own their data, share goals, and be part of the information you share with parents. Remember to let our Admin Team know if you need/want us to sit in on any of your conferences.
Helpful Conference Hints:
If we approach families with this mindset, we can begin seeing conferences as opportunities for collaborative inquiry about how we can best support children’s learning.
- Begin the conversation on a personal note instead of starting with the formal progress report.
- Create a sense of common purpose. Avoid the use of "I" or "You." Try words like "we" and "us."
📺 The technology department has let the DLCs know they are aware of some of the challenges our campus has had with Airplay on the Vivitek boards. One thing to try each day is toggling the Wi-Fi on and off on each device: iPad, Mac and board. They have asked that we continue to place tickets so they can be better aware of the scope of the issue across the district.
👀 If you are looking for resources about using the Vivitek board in your classroom, the DLC bulb Vivitek Collection is a great place to start!. It includes both instructional strategies for using your board for lesson design and delivery as well as additional troubleshooting strategies. 🙂

ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
Embrace and Love Them. Kids that think their teachers love them and feel they are loved for who they are, achieve more. Even if a child can’t speak English yet, they can still think and feel. A smile goes a long way.
