Student Led Conferences

This week Spicewood hosted its Spring Conferences in order to share and celebrate the progress of our students.  This is an exciting time for both teachers and students as we have the opportunity to share some of the learning that has taken place over the last several months.
We especially love the format of having students involved because it allows them to take responsibility for what they have achieved and also begin to think about what they still want to know and be able to do. They have the opportunity to share with their families assessments and reflections from their Units of Inquiry as well as books they have been reading, writing pieces, math problem solving and art. Another exciting aspect of the process is seeing the learning environment and imagining what it looks like when teachers are conducting class meetings, problems solving, science experiments, role playing, historical reenactments and all the other things that happen at Spicewood throughout a normal school day.
We want to thank all the families who joined us for these very special celebrations and take our hats off to you for being a partner with us in the education of your child!
