Art Display your work on the bulletin boards, on the clay table, and in your art folder. Point out your best pieces and explain why you chose them. Emotional and Social Development Share the self-evaluation form that you completed in class last week. All of these activities demonstrate both how and what I am teaching. I include activities at different skill levels so students can select ones that are appropriate for them.
Parents also appreciate being given a few questions to ask their children at each center.
You can include these on a conference form itself or on cards to be placed at the different centers. When planning, invite students to vote on some of the projects, games, and activities that they would like to share with their visitors. Remind them that it is their responsibility to choose examples of their best work ahead of time. The week before, have kids practice giving answers to partners playing the role of a visitor. Have them reflect on their progress in various curriculum areas by filling out self-evaluation forms to be shared with their adults.
