Book Fair Success

Thank you to all the families who supported our first TPS Book Fair in many years, held during last Monday's Student Led Conferences. With just over $4,000 in sales, it was a fantastic day! A big portion of these proceeds come back to Teesdale PS, and will go towards purchasing new books and classroom resources for our school. 

A huge thank you to our Term 3 Curriculum Committee students for their help setting up the displays and shelves. If you enjoyed the Book Fair and would like to see it become an annual event, be sure to let Mrs Martin know. 

Student Led Conferences:

Thank you to all the family members who attended our Student Led Conferences last week too. Students proudly shared work samples, discussed their learning goals, explained how they have been developing their skills, celebrated achievements, and reflected on areas they would like to continue improving.

It was a wonderful opportunity for families to hear directly from students about their learning and what they are enjoying at school. What a fantastic way to support your child's learning. 

Wanting to continue these conversations at home? Asking questions in a certain way can help to encourage discussion about school, at home. Check out some resources below!
