Here is a real problem we face each year. This helps parents feel informed about the school and involved in your work. When you enter middle school, typically much of this communication stops.
Parents feel left out and our school community suffers.
The format this system of communication takes is up to you. Think creatively about possibilities for communication that would meet the above conditions. You may choose to communicate in writing, through speaking, visual images, music, or some other way or combination of ways I have not considered. You will present this communication plan to a panel of parents and school officials on Friday to get feedback on its quality before you begin its implementation. Whatever system you choose, it must be something our class can actually do and keep up with on a weekly basis.
