Parents and students,
Welcome to our blog! While I see your students and work with them on a daily basis in small groups, as an aide in the classroom, I rarely get a chance to meet and talk with parents. I hope this will be a way to change that so that you can easily keep up with what your student is doing in small groups.
I meet with three small groups each day: Red group, Purple group and Let's Talk About It. Red and Purple groups are currently practicing letter recognition. Let's Talk About It is a small group dedicated to the development of excellent oral communication skills (check out this slideshow for more information http://www.capzles.com/#/3eb999a4-630f-4779-87a1-3a7bd37b8cdb). Right now, I have 5 students in each group with a little bit of overlap in Let's Talk About It.
I am hoping that this blog can be a forum not only for me to let you know what we are working on in small groups, but also for you to have an opportunity to be involved from home.
Each week, I will make a post for each group (Red and Purple will be together for now). I will include information about what we are learning, fun activities we have done, games we have played, text your students have written, and ideas for how you can help your student succeed from home.
I hope you will feel free to comment with any ideas, questions or concerns you may have.
Hi Lena! I like the layout of your blog. Your first post is nicely organized and gives a good idea of what to expect from future posts.
ReplyDeleteHello Lena. I love your blog. It is very inviting. You provided an excellent introduction to let everyone know what your plans are for your blog.
ReplyDeleteLena,
ReplyDeleteI love the way you introduced your blog and its purpose to both the students and their parents. As a parent, I know what to expect of my son/daughter in your class. I look forward to reading more on your blog and what is happening in your class! Great job!
Lena,
ReplyDeleteGreat layout with your blog and also great idea on using the blog to inform parents and students on what to expect and what you do each day. This will definitely be a helpful tool!
I really like your concept for this blog. I think this would be a great help for you informing the parents since you are an aide and don't get to communicate with the parents very much. Great job on stating your purpose. Also, your layout looks great.
ReplyDeleteHello Lena, I love the way you exposed your parents to whats happening in your classroom. Great way to get parental involment. You involved parents along with students. Hats off to a successful year and great job on your blog.
ReplyDeleteLena,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job with letting your parents know what is going on with groups in the classroom. This blog will be very valuable to them. I sure wish I had your help in my classroom. I pray that your students will learn and grow this year in amazing ways.
I like your introductory post. It's very clear and it lets parents know what to expect in future.
ReplyDeleteThe style of your post looks great. I like that you defined to the parents about your groups so that if they happen to visit your classroom they will automatically know what is going on.
ReplyDeleteHello Lena, I like the way that you informed your parents of what is taking place in the classroom during group time, it is very informative.
ReplyDeleteI really felt like I was in a library when I first opened your blog. I really like the way it looks. I also like your purpose statement. It will really make the parents feel like you believe they play a key role in their child's educational development.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the kind words of encouragement guys! :) I'm excited for my upcoming posts!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post Lena! It is very informative and lets parents know what is going on in the classroom. We know that it is very important to let parents be involved in what is going on in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteHey Lena! It's nice having a class with you again! I love that you are gearing this blog toward what you are currently doing as an aide. Aides play such an important part in the classrooms and group interventions. I miss my time as an aide and the ways in which I was able to help my high schoolers:) Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Lena:) I like the simplicity of your design. It's clear and easy to read. Your goal is also clear which I know the parents will appreciate!
ReplyDeleteHi Lena! I think that it is wonderful to be involved in the children's small groups. Getting to know the parents can be a tough task. I think that your blog will be a great way to interact with the parents and to let them know about the students progress in the various small groups!
ReplyDeleteI love the background for this!. I really like your ideas here to update parents and give them ideas for helping the kids at home. This looks very inviting and relaxing to visit and would be an encouragement, as well as how you are using it.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I think the parents will love feeling connected to their child's day by viewing their new work you post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great layout! I also love how formally you approach the parents...very professional.
