Persuasive: Family Involvement

It is so important to me for us to create a strong classroom community of learners, so that all children can learn from their peers, family members, community, and teacher. The classroom community of learners is comprised of the student, parent, teacher, and members of the community. Supporting relationships among all role models and friends in your child’s life will create a positive learning environment.

I am a teacher who's door is always wide open for class volunteers and is so appreciative for that help! The children and I would LOVE to invite your family in for many events this year. Some, which I wil send out specific newsletters and calendars for are listed below:
1. Bring someone special in for your child’s star student of the week Friday to tell us about how your career/life relates to literacy and to read us a story(I will hand out a newsletter).
2. Your participation with homework: signing the weekly newsletter with communication updates in regards to weekly news and any upcoming family involvement events, and having them telling you about the daily vocabulary word before you sign the sheet.
3. Through out the year, your participation in watching reader’s theatre, dramatic plays, writer and reader’s chair, King/ Queen of the Day, Popcorn party, Read-Ins, Store, etc.(don’t worry, I will always send out additional detailed newsletters about what these activities are, why we do them, and when they are!) If you want to join in, your always welcome! If not, I always take pictures!
4. Please fill in your ideal day to volunteer if you are interested in helping with centers on the form attached. I will hold a "centers meeting" during at 1:00 while the children are in P.E. next Friday if you can join for additional specific information on centers!
