I...This might come in a bit late but here it is...<br /><br />I organise Book Club meetings. My students are divided into small groups and I assign one parent volunteer per group so they can participate and enrich the discussion. Each parent receives a copy of the book being read. Meetings are being held once a week. Novels selected complement my social studies unit. In the fall we discussed World War II and we've now moved onto Black History. <br /><br />I started this a few years ago and it works really well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497129538261237651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398761775627125562.post-1921135654743042632011-03-06T09:56:03.320-06:002011-03-06T09:56:03.320-06:00I teach 3rd grade and struggle with ideas to get p...I teach 3rd grade and struggle with ideas to get parents in my classroom. For two years I have implemented a "Mystery Reader". The kids love it and so do the parents. I make a schedule for a parent to come in once a week... but which parent is a mystery to the students. The kids are all anticipating someone, but never know who it will be.<br /><br />Parents love it and consider it a highlight of their year.Mrs. Rumseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836832821358485290noreply@blogger.com
