At my school we have Curriculum Night where just the parents come to school and I get to talk with them and explain how our classroom works. Parents get to ask lots of questions and we get some time to get to know eachother. One thing, I always do is put a video together with my class. It is such a wonderful way for the parents to get the feel for what happens during the day. Another wonderful thing, is as we make the video the students are truly reviewing classroom procedures.
If you have a great idea about making your parents feel welcome...I would LOVE to hear about it!

This is so cute! At our school we are moving from having a Meet the Teacher before school starts, to having a back to school night...This will be a perfect thing to show parents!

I loved your video! I actually knew the tune of the beginning of your phonics dance song- got me starting to sing another song.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for sharing- you look like an awesome teacher based on what I just saw.
