Conferring - Amelia

For me, conferring with students as they read their silent reading books is the easy part.  I am trying to find a good way for myself to keep track of what I have discussed with those students and what I want them to work on.  I usually discuss with them what we just worked on in the mini lesson and see how they are applying it to their just right book.  I have not yet found a way to keep track of past and current discussions with each student that works for me.  I had a notebook to write in but I did not like that my notes for one student were not all together.  It was by date and I didn’t like flipping back and forth pages trying to find a certain student.  This is one of my goals for the year, to find an organized way that works for me to keep track of conferencing with students.
