I'm...I don't know what I am going to do... I'm looping again with my kids to 3rd grade. This will be the 3rd year with most of my kids and the 2nd year with the others. This was first year in 2nd and I LOVED it!!! Now, I am off to 3rd and the FCAT (our icky standardized test). One thing that has worked for me this year was a private FACEBOOK group...where I posted pictures of the kids and messages to my parents who joined the group. The other was our communication binder...I have the kids put their agenda in the 3 ring binder...and I write notes to the parents when I have to or when they have to. During the summer, I maintain a blog for summer reading. I've used newsletters before, but since everyone is trying to go GREEN. I stopped. Good luck next year. I'll stop by often. :)drdebi2bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944255102791485993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046764195499861131.post-46924785063892785172012-05-20T06:29:33.284-10:002012-05-20T06:29:33.284-10:00Congrats on all the wonderful things that made you...Congrats on all the wonderful things that made you feel succesful! Nothing better than seeing growth :)<br />I lack on giving my parents opportunities to be in my classroom. I am with you. I wish I could find a happy medium where I do not have to spend tons of time training them, and yet make them feel they have helped me throughout the year. <br /><a href="http://mysecondsense.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Second Sense</a>Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506366541277361571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046764195499861131.post-6709522831086739512012-05-20T06:02:05.361-10:002012-05-20T06:02:05.361-10:00I had a science mom who came in once a week.

She set up the entire experiment while I taught a whole group lesson. She stayed and helped with crowd patrol, and then afterwards cleaned up everything. I thought my students had the best science instruction I had ever delivered because this amazing mom was so dedicated to come in each week. It took a little time in the beginning to show her where everything was, but after that everything flowed like clockwork. This mom was the exception. You might want to train 2 moms in case one of them has an emergency. <br /><br />Michelle<br /><i><b><a href="http://teach123-school.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Teach123</a></b></i>Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067628066992165301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046764195499861131.post-48674295849955693742012-05-20T05:17:03.290-10:002012-05-20T05:17:03.290-10:00Until I hit publish, I didn't realize I'd ...Until I hit publish, I didn't realize I'd written such a book- sorry!

I did a newsletter that went home weekly, which was good... but like you, I didn't use volunteers near enough!<br /><br />I have thought about trying to have a parent sign up as a 'science volunteer' who comes in once a month, or a 'bulletin board' volunteer who will take things down or put them up for me (since I never seem to get around to it). I could also stand to have someone come in once a week and time my kids on a fluency passage. I just have to get it all organized!<br /><br />Surely I could use a volunteer during centers, too- even if it's occasional- to play a review game along with kids who need the review. Some of my kids would honestly just love to read to someone, so maybe I should make that happen.<br /><br />Our school does do copy room volunteers, and we have a little slip where we write in how many copies, check off if it should be one-sided or double-sided, grouped or collated, or we can check laminate, cut, bind, etc. The slips make it much faster to paper-clip and leave it for parents to know what to do! I store it all in a little file folder with a homemade envelope stapled inside for small pieces.luckeyfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338266098096236978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046764195499861131.post-81780069310661097082012-05-20T04:36:19.196-10:002012-05-20T04:36:19.196-10:00I am totally jealous!!!!
