Context: On my first day as a student intern in Martha Saffer's class at Blue Ridge Elementary, I brought in a letter to introduce myself to my students and for them to take home to their parents. This letter was to let parents know who I was and what I would be doing in their child's class, and it was also a good way for me to begin building a partnership between the school and home. Impact: As a teacher, I will constantly be in contact with parents, building a bridge between the home and school, and letters like this are a fun, easy way for me to do this. I included pictures, making it a more personal experience than just sharing written information. It was also a fun way for my students to begin asking me questions and getting to know me.
Alignment: I have met the following NCDPI standards:
Standard 16 -
- Indicator 3 because my letter began building an important relationship between the school and home, and it allowed me to communicate with parents, guardians and caretakers.
