A note from Mrs. Burke:
Thank you to parents who have signed up for a conference. I'm looking forward to meeting with you and your child on November 4th. If you have not signed up for a conference yet, please send me an email to set up a time: burken@hartfordschools.net
This week, students continued working on their portfolios for conferences. They are eager to share them with you ! I want to save all of this good work for conferences, so this week I asked them to reflect on some other things in the classroom.
