Including families
Another component is weekly communication with and involvement of families. I send home a weekly newsletter to share what the children are doing in class ( see " the Gittings Group News", p .7).
I encourage parents to be part of the classroom and their child's learning by offering a range of a family involvement options. Families can provide information about their home culture and traditions, share resources and stories, or come to the classroom to help with a cooking project, science experiment , or art activity. Involvement is flexible so that families can help in the ways in which they are most comfortable.
