What happened? Who did their actions effect? What are the expectations? What will they do differently next time?]]> 2017-02-15 16:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154056483 https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154056751 bi-weekly email updates...

I will choose 3 to 4 students a week who could use some love and send a detailed message celebrating and also letting parents know how they could support their child.]]> 2017-02-15 16:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154056780 https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154056909 1.

But no one visits so it often feels like a waste of time.

I will periodically send families an email directing them back to the blog, as well as offering them questions for them to use to talk with their children about things going on in our class. ]]> 2017-02-15 16:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154057254 https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154057401 KK also sends out texts to parents via Talking Points almost daily. She includes what we've done that day and a simple question they can ask their students that relates to their day of work.]]> 2017-02-15 16:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154057401 https://padlet.com/dperuzzi/HTM_family_engagement/wish/154057733
