Preparing for Student-Led Conferences

Hello! Today we did some preparing for student led conferences next week. As a reminder to all...if you haven't already turned in your conference form that was mailed home, please be sure to do that! They were due today. Thanks. We analyzed the ISTEP scores from 5th grade in social studies and did some reflecting on 6th grade social studies so far this year. Students will be expected to share with parents these reflections. Also attached to the reflection is a pink sheet of paper which explains to parents and students that the corporation has purshase for social studies classrooms in 6th and 7th grades a classroom set of Google Chromebooks. Students will be able to use these in the classroom and at home to access the 7th grade textbook on-line. We will also use them for other purposes as well. We are excited at what new learning opportunities this new technology will provide. We then finished discussing chapter 30 and the notes that were taken about Alexander's events and facts which describe a character trait. Tomorrow we will look at some primary source documents that will give us more information.
