I put in some very long hours this week but I think it was all worth it!!! Parent Teacher Conferences were last night. School dismissed at 1pm and parents started coming at 2. While 1 hour sounds like a lot of time it really wasn't. I had so much going on during the 1/2 day of school I just needed a moment to collect my thoughts. I think yesterdays half day with students was one of the more stressful day's I have had this school year. NOTHING seemed to be going in my direction. One student spent quite a bit of time in the office, I had 4 safe seats, lunch duty and recess duty. It just didn't seem like it would ever end. After a little melt down from the day I was ready to greet and talk with 15 parents!
The conferences went great! I was finished with my last conference at 7:40pm, 12 hours and 40 minutes after I had arrived! It was one LONG day! By the time I packed up my stuff it was 8pm before I left school and I returned to my house exactly 14 hours after my departure time.
I had 100% attendance and all the conferences went amazing! I have some really great kids and parents at my school. The entire evening I kept thinking about last years experience at parent teacher conferences and how much I have grown as a teacher. I really feel I am in the right school for me. I am able to grow as a teacher, I get constant feed back from my principal, and the parents are supportive.
I hope your parent teacher conferences went well or will go well! I am now off to enjoy this very long 4 day break from students. It couldn't have came at a better time!
