Communication

Communication in Classroom For communication to the parents of both of my placement classes so far, my teachers have put out a weekly and sometimes, depending on how busy the teacher is a bi monthly newsletter. This is to let the parents know what is going on inside the classroom. Both of the newsletter's have information like what they will be learning about during the course of that week or two week period, any field trips or important events that are going on within the school or class, if the teacher needs any parent volunteers or help within the classroom or trip, like a chaperone, and then both my placement teachers have a designated spot for students who have made their AR goal for the quarter so that the parents can see what level their child is on. I really love the idea of a newsletter be ause it keeps everyone on the same page and nobody can feel like they are being left out. Another good way that Mrs. Cipriani's students and her show communication to each other is when the students raise their hands of they need something. They hold up one finger if they would like to get some water, two fingers if they have to go to the restroom, and three fingers up if they would like to go to the library. This way, the teacher can figure out if the students is wanting something or if they actually have a question about the assignment or project that are currently working on.
