Family Engagement is a Beautiful Thing

Sunday, November 12, 2017

We are thankful for our Wonderful Parents ❤️ We open our school to children ages 18 months - 5 years. When we accept children in our program our goal is to provide a loving, nurturing and Christian environment which prepares children to easily transition into kindergarten socially and academically by the time they leave our program. To plant the seed for the love of learning that will continue into
their future years as students. An important part of this is parent involvement and partnering together as teachers & parents.
When parents visit our website they will find important information for parents inquiring about our school. We also have information parents need such as the school calendar, the school supply list and more.
In August we have our Open House. The parents and children visit the classrooms and meet the teachers.


We shared information about Mother Goose Time with our parents at the beginning of the school year during Open House.

I also shared the daily schedule with our parents.

Edit
Each month our classroom is full of activities. We want our parents to know about everything that is going on . I send these Awesome newsletters from Mother Goose Time home each month. I also post activities on Facebook and my Blog. We are so busy!!!!!

We were learning so much and we went on a Field Trip with our parents!
We had so much fun!

Our parents are involved in special days and party days. Their children get so excited 😊

Partnering Together

One of the ways that a parent can partner with their child's teacher is to follow up on their child's school work in their backpack at home.
One example is the reader each month. This is really important. These readers include Sight Words their child will need to know in kindergarten.
Another  important skill to follow up on is writing. The journals are awesome. Sometimes they are not fully completed at school.
If any activity / journal wasn't completed maybe an opportunity will come up to complete it at home.
We also work on important math skills such as number recognition, counting, one to one correspondence and more. Parents can follow up on these activities at home.
Parents can discuss the art of the day with their child. Sometimes it is science related.
This also prepares the child for doing future homework or future home school work at home.

Celebration Kits
 As a teacher I have to share something that I absolutely love. I love the Celebration Kits that Mother Goose Time includes with their curriculum. It is awesome and encourages Family Engagement at parties or events.

Thank you Mother Goose Time for all you do to provide curriculum materials that bring the best to our program. For our Children, Parents and Teachers ❤️
Thank you to our parents as well 😍❤️
Disclaimer: I am so thankful for the opportunity to use Experience Early Learning formerly Mother Goose Time Curriculum with my students. I can’t wait to share our learning experiences on my blog. In exchange for my unbiased and honest reviews, Experience Early Learning has provided us with the curriculum free of charge.
