Aloha Advisory Students,
Although I want you all to have a great weekend, I also want you to take
some time to finalize the preparations you've done in class for our parent
conferences coming up on Sept. 10th. Here's an outline of what you will need
to have done by next week Thursday, August 27th.
EQ: How have I become a well-educated person who contributes to society?
1. Complete your Letter of Reflective Summary
a. What is the Letter of Reflective Summary?
It is a letter to your parents stating what the Habits of the mind,
heart and community mean to you. You've started on these in class, but you
should complete them before Thursday, Aug. 27th.
b. How whould the Letter of Reflective Summary be organized?
1. Habits of Mind
a. Lifelong Learning
b. Skills for success
2. Habits of Community
a. Intercultural Understanding
b. Social Responsibility
3. Habits of Heart
a. Passion (What is your passion in life?)
b. Vision (Your goals for the future)
2. Creat your PowerPoint Presentation in this order and using this outline:
1. Habits of Mind

2. Habits of Heart

Remember to create a folder with artifacts (work samples/evidence) that is in
the order you see above. You will fill this folder with work samples to prove
to your parents that you are meeting the Student Learning Expectations of the
school.
3. Be prepared to answer these two questions and the end of your Parent
Conference.
a. What will you need to do before the next conference to reach the
goals you've set forth.
b. What can my parents or significant adult/advisor do to help me
with my goal?
That's about it guys. It's not as hard as you may think it will be. Just try
to be sincere and honest when completing this. I look forward to our first
rehearsal next Thursday.
Mahalo,
Mr. Medeiros
