This document contains a student-led conference presentation by Anni Rytkola from April 2009. It includes summaries of her strengths and next steps in various academic subjects. Her strongest learning style is interpersonal, and her weakest is word smart. In writing, she can correctly use punctuation but needs to add more characters and periods in stories. In reading, she completes book reports on time but needs to write more sentences in responses. In math, she understands temperature and graphs but needs to learn about pictographs. Her goals are to write longer quest stories, stop fighting with her sister, and read a long English book within 7 weeks. Her teacher comment praises her indigenous peoples project and medieval podcast, and notes she works consistently

10. Teacher Comment
Anni impressed us all when she presented her Indigenous Peoples
Project to the class recently, and also when she created her
Medieval Podcast in Social Studies.
I’m pleased to see her more active and verbal - though still often
hesitates before responding to questions.
Her work attitude has been consistently good all year, with peers
often acknowledging how she comes into class each morning ans
settles down to work quickly.
A good quarter Anni, well done.
