Dear
Diary,
In
the book Spreading the
News: Sharing Early Childhood
Education, Margie Carter and Deb Curtis talk about bringing the parents inside
the classroom through photos and documentation.
Genius! Why didn't I think of
that? This could solve my problem.
If the teachers document the learning, then
the parents can see where the pre-writing and pre-reading skills come
from. If the documentation is done
correctly, maybe the parents can see the actual GROWTH of language. For example, if the threes start the language
and literacy documentation, then the parents will really see the changes during
the fours year.
Maybe
we should start this in the two's?
Why
only language and literacy growth? Let's
show growth in all of the domains.
Hmmm, If
I asked the teachers to begin doing all the domains, they would walk out. I would have a mutiny on my hands.
Baby
steps, Deej, baby steps.
