Greetings Conway Community!
Making learning public is an essential component in building bridges amount the school, community members, school partners, and families. It's what makes Expeditionary Learning schools authentic, purposeful, and puts our learners in the driver's seat. This week 1st grade and 2nd grade hosted Celebrations of Learning and made learning public for our learners. Celebrations of learning showcase and honor the work of all students, empowering them to take the lead role in communicating about their learning. These special events may occur at the end of the year, the end of an expeditions (long-term project, or end of a module. Our grade levels have the ability to customize these events as both 1st and 2nd grade did this week. As an Expeditionary Learning school, Making learning public is key! Congratulations to all our first graders and second graders for showcasing high quality work.
Coffee & Crew with the Principal
Engaging families and the community in the life of the school is more important than ever. This week we welcomed our families to our Coffee with the Principal. You are all such an important part of the broader Conway community crew that supports our learners success. Thank you all for attending and engaging in meaningful conversation about 6th grade applications, School of Choice, the social emotional needs of students. Our special guest, Miss Daisy, our social worker, was grateful to make this connection with all of you.
Stay tuned families for our next gathering.
Student Led Conferences are coming!
Student led conferences are deeply aligned to our EUSD Framework for the Future our EUSD learner profiles. In fact, this is an excellent example of an Empowered Learner as they demonstrate their curiosity, are self-directed, and able to overcome challenges in pursuit of interest and goals. SLCs also builds skills of being Effective Communicators as they are the leaders of their own learning during this conference and they learn how to articulate their progress toward goals.
