conference time

this is parent conference week. i have 32 students and therefore, 32 parent conferences. as of today, after 10 back to back conferences, i'm done with half of them. they've gone pretty well so far, but then the conferences have been with the parents of the students who are doing pretty well. tomorrow begins the set with many of my struggling students who are really below 4th grade expectations. did i mention that out of 32 conferences, 26 of them are in spanish? it's actually kind of terrifying, but i'm making it through and the parents have been so gracious with my language mistakes.

and it's almost thanksgiving! which means that next week is a 3-day week of school. and after that, it's only 3 more full weeks until i'm off-track and on vacation! if i can just make it through mid-december, i will be ok.
