So some parents are not so into it, but the majority of families are, and it's such a great way to just
Informally uh at the beginning of the year, bond and get to know each other and the kids are so excited to be able to share their own life and their personal, their favorite toys or their favorite books at home or what they like to do.
And so I would say that's one of the ways that I start out the beginning of the year with that um building that strong foundation.
And then it's important to um keep
consistent communication and I do have some parents this year and years past that I am communicating with every single day whether that's through an email or phone call or even a text message but communication has been so important so that we can all be on the same page and along with communication comes honesty which may not always be easy for the teacher or the
She's not sure.
Because there may be times where I don't want to share something because I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings or I don't want anybody to feel bad about something that's happened.
But the only way that
we can do what's best for the child and the only way that a child can continue to show growth is if there is honesty about what's going on in the classroom.
And oftentimes kids will behave differently at home than they do at school.
And that's because at school they're having to do different tasks than at home.
Not to say that home isn't challenging as well, because it can be um just like being at home can be just as exciting as school.
But at
school there are less adults and so students you know that that attention has to be divided and that can create a lot of challenges.
So a second way that I help parents kind of see what the day-to-day, what our routine is like is I invite them to spend a day in the classroom.
And it's every time I've had a parent do that, it's been such a positive experience for the parent, the child.
and me.
It get the child so excited to have the parent there for the day and the parent gets to see the the whole routine of the day and really all the ins and outs and the things that we have to accomplish in such a short amount of time.
And it gives me as a teacher good talking points for where we can go back and look at that school day and say, you know, when this happened, how how do you feel about how I handled that or how
would you have handled that at home?
