So I decided to set up a parent newsletter (blog) online. I'm feeling a little more confident in my blogging capabilities so I figured why not?!
At least I'd be saving a tree by doing my newsletter electronically. :-)
So here's the link: Www.whatsnewgrade2.blogspot.com
Check it out. See how I keep my parents informed. I added the "subscribe" button and sent home a flyer asking parents to subscribe. That way they can get email alerts when I've posted & they can stay informed!
Speaking of keeping informed have you heard of the remind me app? All I had to do was go to the website, set up an account & add a class. Then I sent home a flyer with my class information so parents could subscribe with their email or phone (text). Then every day my teaching partner and I send home a reminder email/text. Our alerts can be general like "Don't forget to read 20 minutes tonight" or "spirit day tomorrow--wear blue!" Etc. We've gotten a lot of positive feedback so far. Best part? Parents will never know your phone number/personal email and they can't reply back. If they have questions they'll have to contact you another way--in person, phone, or work email. That is a plus because you don't want to be texting back and forth! That could become very time consuming!
But anways, it's pretty neat & very easy to use! Go to www.remind.com
You're welcome ;-)
In other news, we've done some pretty neat art projects recently. One involving cool and warm colors... go check it out here: click here!
Until next time.... keep calm and teach on!
