Parent Communication Log

Home school communication is so important. Communicating with families is so important. As a teacher, it is important to communicate how children are progressing in school. Parents have the right to know. As a parent myself, it is important to know how my child is doing. As a teacher, I always communicate with my parents about how their child is doing. As a teacher, you are the one that knows how a child does. We are the ones that assess and teach them. We know what parents can do to help them. I have meetings with my parents as much as I can. I always have talking points and then next steps. This is important for both the teacher and parents to know. I created this parent communication log to keep track of what is talked about. It is so important.

Student Information

Back to school is a time for routines. I like to set many up routines with my students as well as parents. I like to learn about my students from the parents point of view. This is so important because I like to know what they have to say about their children. What are some likes? What are some dislikes? These are just a few of the things that I like to ask. This gives me a little bit about what my students are like from the parents point of view. This is one way to establish a home school communication log. This is why I like to send out this student information for my families. As first graders, it is hard for them to write so I like the parents input.

Word Wall Alphabet Letters

I love using my word wall as an interactive bulletin board. My word wall bulletin board is the focal point of my classroom. My students are able to use the word wall when they are writing and through out the day. This allows them to use the words that are used in daily reading and writing. I also review the word wall words daily with my students. I love to use my word wall alphabet letters.

I have different colors in my TPT store. I change my colors of my classroom every year and I love to use the different colors in my classroom to make my word wall pop. These letters are no prep and it’s a great way to get started quickly. Here are some of the letters.

Once Upon A Book

Summer time is a time that I get to read children’s books and discover new books. I love to read them to my own children and then use these books with my own students. I enjoy discovering new authors and coming up with new ideas for my students to do with.

I discovered a new book called Once Upon A Book by Grace Lin. It was a great book about a little girl going through different settings of stories. She visits many different places and learns a little bit about each place. It’s a wonderful book about discovery of different places. I really enjoyed the story. My children loved to see the different places that the girl visits.

I created a creative writing piece for my students. After reading the book, my students will write about an adventure that they went on in a book. This will be a free write for them and for them to use their imagination. Children need to use their imagination and this will spark imagination. Check out my product.
