Parents and Community
Parents can also be involved in this learning conversation and can use these videos to help their children at home as well. This is not all that I have included for parents, for I have linked them to many resources that may be of interest. Under the parent resource page, I have buttons that lead to student’s rights and responsibilities contracts, attendance policies, the states site, our counties site, our schools site, our schools calendar, extended learning options, google classroom logins, and pictures from events in our community. From these sites, parents and students may study and practice for their state tests, get involved with our school and upcoming events, and even access a calendar of what I am planning to teach and when. My link to help solve world hunger connects my classroom to the global community and helps them feel that they are contributing to something worthwhile and good, while fostering a trusting and supportive classroom community. In the third quarter of the school year I host a free tutoring session which I post and link to my site. I will do this when the appropriate time comes and will be yet another way for my parents to enhance student learning through online and afterschool opportunities.
