The Preamble

I've always struggled with how to get parents in on the learning that the students do while at Explorers. I know as a parent, I don't get much feedback from my newly minted 6yo as to what she learns in class. I wish there was a way I could be a fly on the wall of my daughter's classroom so we could continue the conversations that were initiated in class.

I want to afford the parents of my "wonderfully made" students this opportunity to have a pulse on what we do in the classroom.

I contemplated the paper method. To be honest with you, I wasn't even sure the weekly sheet of paper would make it into the right hands. There was also the cost of copying to consider.

I contemplated inundating your email box each week, but I wasn't sure one more Explorer-related email would be well received.

So I'm going to try this method and see how well this goes. I'm hoping to include links to various websites so you and your child could easily revisit the things we learned in class. I'm not a proficient blogger. This will be a new learned skill as we go through the semester. My personal goal is to have the topics from the previous class posted prior to the next class.

Thanks,
Liz
