I would like to give a shout out to parent volunteers in the school.  I have 15 parents that give of their time one hour a week to help the students.  In my reading program I have a parent that comes an hour a day to help with my guided reading groups.  They do a shared reading with four different groups for 15 minutes, then  we rotate.  The most import thing that is happening is there is another adult in the room that are making sure the students are on task and involved with the reading process.  They are asking questions, and having discussion with the stude

Parents and teachers each have a perspective to share, and working together can help you find ways to provide the appropriate and necessary support for your child.
