To encourage parent participation, I would make them feel welcome in the classroom by showing a genuine interest in their child and by treating them with respect in confidentiality. I would then invite them to do classroom observations. I would inform them about weekly newsletters and a two-way journal (Allen, 2022 p.255). I would encourage them to read daily notes as well as respond in the journal. I would also show them where homework and home activities will be placed in their child's folder. I chose this photo because it shows a parent happily working with his daughter on her school goals at home. For a parent to be an active participant in their child's school and education, support at home is extremely important. It is important for the parent to share with the teacher assigned tasks that they did, and how it compares with the child's progress on the task at school.

This is a thank you letter from a set of preschool teachers to parents. The teachers are sending their gratitude to parents for making their teacher appreciation week special. They are also using it as an opportunity to thank parents for being engaged throughout the year. These letters bode well for parent-teacher rapport. This, as well other correspondence, is e-mailed to parents. If a parent does not have e-mail access, a hard copy can be sent home with the child.

This classroom promotes inclusiveness, independence, and self-care in a number of ways. It is inclusive in that the aisles are wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. The easle, of course, would need to be moved. It promotes independence by having the manipulatives in the shelves near the table in the foreground. This allows the students to reach them (the students will most likely be using the table to do the manipulatives). The bins with the manipulatives are also clearly labelled with images. The image makes it easier for a child to select a certain manipulative if desired. It also fosters independence since the table is on tile. This is most likely the area where children will be engaged in art. When the students are painting, the drying rack can be wheeled near the table. This will allow the students to take their finished pieces of art to the drying rack themselves. The classroom fosters self-control by having the dress-up area and the reading area in opposite areas of the classroom. This will help the children learn appropriate noise levels. They will more quickly learn how a little more noise is expected in the dress up area, and how the reading area is a quiet area. Also teaching self-control are the rule posters posted at eye level near the center rug. This helps children remember what is expected of them during circle time. Something I would change is the puzzle rack. Currently, there are no puzzles placed in it, but if we were doing puzzles, I would move it to an area where children could reach. I would also make sure there was a ramp outside the door of the classroom, not just steps.

The children being able to line up properly, as well as safely, is of utmost importance. It is one they will have to do on a daily basis, maybe multiple times. They will be expected to line up quietly, while keeping hands and feet to themselves. The children will line up to go to lunch (unless it is eaten in the room), recess, and be dismissed at the end of the day.
