So last night/day was parent teacher conferences.
What a long, tiring, overwhelming day.
I had 38 conferences between 9 am and 7:30pm yesterday, which was awesome. We got all paretns to come excpet for 10. out of 50, not bad.
Unfortunately there were a few parents i really wanted to see, that didn't come, but then again some parents i dind't expect to see, who came
I didn't get yelled at by any parents which was nice..
The hardest part was seeing HOW MUCH some of the parents care, and having them be dissapointed at their kids low grades. Unforutaely me and my ohter third grade teacher are VERY strict , nad expect a lot from our kids, and i think the parents see htat now.
The other hard part was telling 4 parents that their children were making d's in every subject and tat we think they need to be referred for special ed Every parent excpet for 2 were VERY surprised.
we also had a HUGE breakthrough with my BIGGEST behavior probem child's mother.
She is a mother that HATES our school/principal/teachers in general, and ALWAYS takes her daughters side, she said she was SOOO glad that she had teachers who finally could read her daughtere weren't going to give up on her, and were going to push her. She even cried!!! What an amazing breakthrough!!!
overall a very scucessful day!
i can't believe first quarter is done.. and that i still have 3 more.. haha
