Yesterday was the first day of parent-teacher conferences and we were able to meet with five of our students parents. All of the conferences went extremely well and I hope to be able to say the same thing for the remaining thirteen. Although I was warned about the hostility levels that these conferences can reach, there were no problems so far for the conferences.
I was able to see something different for the last conference of the day. My mentor teacher is Italian and Puerto Rican and he is able to speak Spanish with ease. Because of this, he has never used a translator and this definitely makes communication meaningful. Although I could not understand the majority of the conversation, I did pick up on different inflections in both voices and the parents seemed comfortable with the teacher during the entire conversation.
I hope that the rest of the week, including conferences, goes as well as the beginning of the week. I must admit that I have become tired over the past few weeks and with no resting opportunity in sight, I simply must push forward! I want to be sure to do everything that I can to get as much as I can out of these last 3 weeks but I also have to admit that I'm fueled for these weeks because I know that, I'M GRADUATING SOON!!!!
