My partner and I met with our mentor Alma Nunez on Wednesday through ZOOM. Our first meeting focused on introduction of the classroom. She let us know that the age range of the children in her classroom 0-3. She has 4 two- year olds. Mentioned that in her class she is bilingual. We changed our meeting time to Fridays at 11:00 am. I asked her what we should keep I mind when creating a lesson plan, she let us know that the school is a head start, we should remember if needed materials are to be used they must be household items. To finalized we signed up for a newsletter that parents recieve.

This week we began to receive the newsletters parents receive. As I read through it I noted that even when they are virtual it is just as important to keep the parents informed about what their children are doing in the week. In the previous meeting she noted that she is bik=lingual and this is important when communicating with parents as well as children.

We did not meet with the children this week. Instead we attended a parent meeting at the same time. I was interested in listening to this meeting because it provided an opportunity to see how they built this teacher/ parent relationship. The meeting was in both English and Spanish. They began by discussing parent leadership positions. Discussed other areas such as workshops, further meetings, parent involvement, among other things.
