Parent Connections


                 Stay connected with parents and they will stay connected with you.

Give them the tools so they too, can best help their child.

 

Family Math

I was searching around on the Internet this weekend for great ideas, like I always do and ran across Amy Swan's 3rd grade class.   She had a great idea for math enrichment at home.    She uses Aunty Math's Challenge of the week to have student's respond and react to the challenge problem.  I thought it was/is a great idea, so here is everything  you need to start it yourself.

I am not going to put my newsletter up on this website anymore, because I post it weekly to my school website, www.hellomrsjones.com, under Parent Connections.   You can look there to see it. 

 

 

I must give kudos to a former co-worker and friend, Marisa Ramirez at P.K. Yonge, for the original creation of this newsletter.   If you like the format of the  newletter, you can click on the .doc template below.   Save it in your documents and insert your own text and clip art, change color and fonts.   To make a new one, I copy and paste it into a new document each week.

 Classroom Giving Tree Poster-at Back to School Night, I post this on the board with items written on  sticky notes, and ask parents to see if there is something they would be willing to donate to the class.    I also post a Teacher Wish List on my parent website, that way I can change and add wishes through the year.
