monthly newsletter
By Susan

I love doing a monthly newsletter for parents. I include the following:
*birthdays
*subject matter (what we're studying in each area)
*field trips
*new rules or changes in rules
*reminders about anything that
is getting lax(supplies, signing agenda, etc...)
*class parties
*volunteer information
*I include a place at the bottom for the parents to sign saying they read the newsletter - they tear that off and return it to me.
I put lots of clipart on there to "dress it up" and I keep it to one page. The first newsletter of the year always has the class rules on them. I also send

a letter introducing myself, and another form to fill out for me to keep (that tells me about their child). That's the only things I send home the first day from me - there are usually more from the office, though!
