Just as making connections to one’s students is important, so too is making connections to the families of one’s students!!

Rather than reaching out to families on day 1, I took the first week to really get to know the students before reaching out to their families in the form of a letter at the end of week 1.

I thought that it was important to get to know my students first so that I had something true and meaningful to say to their families.

I hope this letter is the beginning of many positive school-home interactions throughout my four-week practicum 🙂
