The "P" Words

The craziness has just commenced in every classroom. As if we haven't seen enough chaos in these last few months, we are about to go wild. Portfolios and Progress reports are the only subject of talk amongst teachers these days.

In Grade 3, I think we have more fun than we should filling out these things and issuing comments for each student. We are able to fish through funny stories that happened throughout the first few months of school.

Thankfully we were graced with no meetings this afternoon (since today is Wednesday, our designated half day). Budi and I plowed through our progress reports and portfolio preparation. From what I've been talking with teachers - we seem to be ahead of the ball game. That's always a good sign.

Conferences take place next week. I anticipate it will be quite an interesting experience seeing that only a few number of my students' parents are bi-lingual. Thank goodness I have Budi - otherwise I wouldn't know what to do.
