This document is a student portfolio for student-led conferences. It includes summaries and samples of the student's work from various subjects over the school year. Projects included a shoe classification activity in science, a presentation on the colony of Rhode Island in social studies, murals depicting scenes from the book "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" in language arts, and homework on prime factorization in math. The portfolio is intended to show parents examples of what the student has learned instead of a teacher explaining it at a traditional parent-teacher conference.

6. Why?

7. Why?
We are doing Student Led Conferences
because it will give us an opportunity to show
our parents what we have learned in class
instead of a teacher telling our parents what we
have learned. The Student Led Conferences
also give us an opportunity to tell our parents
about each project we chose to do for our
reflections.

factors. To find the prime factorization
of a number you have to find two
numbers that you can multiply
together to get the number at the top.
You keep doing the same thing until

the homework assignments that I
completed.
