Aveson is switching up their conference/celebration of learning schedule this year to give parents earlier feedback on how kids are doing. So, last Thursday we had the first of two Student Led Conferences where the boys took us around their classrooms to show us their work and introduce us to the new Mastery Learning Portfolio assessment tool. I’ll feel better about the assessments in the coming weeks when I can view them from home as neither of my boys was patient enough to let me read through several pages of “I can” statements. But I did thoroughly enjoy seeing them in their classrooms showing off their work and skills. Here’s Finn doing the puff ball sort job.
And some of the math he’s been working on. I love his three bears.
His skull from Dia de los Muertos was hanging up.
And some evidence of Kindergarten science.
After the first session with Finn, Bruce, who had been with Ezra, and I switched up and I got to see Ezra’s advisory. Here’s all the stuff we were meant to do.
Ezra was very focused on getting to all of it (and did not appreciate any interruptions from me). He did get a little distracted by his friends’ conferences at times, but that’s par for the course. After making sure we logged out properly from the online assessment system, he read me a page from his Moomintroll book.
And showed me the quilt project he made.
Obviously, his trip to Legoland in September is still having a huge impact.
