10. Partnering with Parents
Parents are welcome to come to the classroom and run a Book Club with their own child’s group. I will send an letting you know which times are available and what days and you are welcome to attend any of those days/times.
Respond to upcoming if you would like to participate.
I will with opportunities as they arise.

11. “Hey Look What I Learned Today!”
In the front of your child’s folder you will see a sheet, as often as is possible, explaining what we learned/studied that day. Look for quiz or test scores to keep you updated.
If the child keeps these sheets in a binder at home for the entire year, I will have a treat for them at the end of the year.
Please feel free to me.
