Student Led Conference

Learning Conference

Today we had a day off school because we had student led conferences. That is when you learn what your score is for maths, writing and reading. In maths I am 4P and that is the standard for maths. In writing I am 3P and that means I am working below the standard for writing. Last I am 3B in reading and that means also I am working below the stranded for reading. For everything the standard is 4P. Miss Campbell (my teacher) said I am a good worker and I try really hard in class so that was good.
