Keeping Your Parents Up To Date!
I just finished my first week of school. I LOVE my classroom, but I am super excited that it is a 3 day weekend this weekend. Gives me a chance to catch up with my giant to do list. First on my list is to sleep late 
I love teaching, but I also love being able to share with my parents what is going on in the classroom. There are a ton of website building tools out there, but I find that I have had the best luck with www.blogger.com
I try to update our blog at least once a month. The Keller Busy Bees is a place for parents to land and see what is going on. I have also embedded a google calendar so it is up to date with classroom and school information. I also plan to use Remind101 for my classroom and Destination ImagiNation team this year. I have also added some tutorial videos on creating different pieces to a blog.
How do you keep your parents informed of what is going on in the classroom?

Our district (Brevard) has purchased Edline where we have our own classroom and/or club websites. There you can add folders, files, links and most importanttly there is an area for \news\ and \calendar\. It is very user friendly and the students and parents alike love the accessibility. see my link http://www.edline.net/pages/Freedom7/Classes/1213_2400000Z6HRA
