Newsletters

Each week I create a newsletter and a classroom happenings page for my families to know what's the buzz in our room.  They look like this:

I copy them front to back and send them home in their BEE folders each Monday.  I started this because I wanted my families to see all of the learning we do that can't be sent home.  This helps with attendance and helps explain what we do all day, since we don't bring home worksheets.

I always link them on my website for families to see as well.

Newsletters

I wanted to post about my newsletters that I send home every other week.  I always post the first page of my newsletter on my classroom website, but it takes up too much storage space to upload the second page.  

The first page looks like this.

I give a few reminders for upcoming events, share exciting news about our room, tell thank you's to parents for helping out, and state what we will be learning about over the next two weeks.

The second page looks like this.

On the second page, I show photos of projects we did in class and give little tips for parents to help their child continue their learning at home.  

I copy the pages front to back and place them in a sheet protector in each kinder cuties' BEE folder.  I also hang them outside our classroom door.
