Teacher Meeting and Parents

I almost forgot, tomorrow we have a teachers meeting called by the Special Needs teacher to discuss some of the students who have been struggling in class. All of the middle school teachers are going to be there to discuss strategies and what we can do for these students. Also, we are going to discover if these students are only struggling in our class or in other classes as well.

I did give one student who is really struggling an opportunity to catch up on homework. I also emailed her father about the missing assignments (7 in total) and he said he would make sure they were completed. The following Monday, the assignments were completed, and at a level exceeding anything I have seen this student complete to this point. I found it rather interesting.

Also, right before we left for the field trip, I had two parents come up to me and ask me what I wanted to talk to them about. I was shocked because I never asked any parents to come in a speak with me. But they insisted that I asked to speak with them. Its no big deal, I spoke with them about their son and the things he is doing in my class, and we had a nice discussion. I was just very caught off-guard by the surprise visit.
