Journal 12 - Conferences

Family-Teacher Conferences is an important tool when communicating with families about their child's development and progress in school.

The child has made the most progress in the following areas: listening, following directions, communicating needs, and participation.

The activity the child enjoys most is: art time. The child loves doing arts & crafts as well as choicing the art area when it is free choice center time.

The child is most excited and attentive when: we all get together for circle time. The child enjoys our circle time routine; helper chart, puppets, and story time.

The best form of redirection for this child is: allowing them to sit at the table and do free art; coloring, painting, or drawing, or have them do a puzzle.

One objective the family could work on at home with this child is: sharing and being more patient with their friends. The child gets irritated and frustrated easily when working with others in a group setting.

At conferences it is important when discussing the child that when any issues arise the teachers offer a solution with the problem. Remain positive and keep the communication two-sided. Allow the parents to discuss their questions or concerns as well.
