Parental Involvement


Parents are a child's first teachers. We're all on the same team! It is vital for me as a teacher to involve my students' parents in every aspect of their child's education. For reading, I plan on sending students home with a reading log, showing books they have read throughout the week. They will have to have their parents sign their reading logs to show that they have read for at least 15 minutes every day. Parents can see what types of books their students are reading in school. I will definitely encourage parents and students to read together at home. I will also invite parents into my classroom to do read alouds for the whole class. Parents will know they can contact me at any time, through various methods, in order to find out their students' AR goals, testing scores and results. I have planned to send out a welcome letter at the beginning of the school year to parents and students, and will give my contact information through that letter. I will conference with parents and students as often as possible to discuss their sons' and daughters' progress, strengths, abilities, and talents in reading and in all subjects.
