Parent Teacher Conferences are this week. We have 10 (that's right, T-E-N) hours over three days where parents can come and chat about their children and my classroom. I do really enjoy learning where my students come from- most don't fall far from the tree, in both good and bad ways!
I was especially excited/nervous for these PTCs. The only other contact I had had with my parents was informing them that my classroom style was changing. Now after seeing it in action, I was going to sit face-to-face with parents who want what's best for their children, but learned the old fashioned way and might not understand what I was doing in my classroom. I got none of that! My parents were excited, impressed and curious about flipping. It was such a good feeling (and honestly some relief) that everyone was thrilled about what was happening and how their students were learning math!
