Journal 11

I best see and remember information when I engage in conversation about it.  I also remember things better if I see them displayed on a board.  I can reach parents who are visual by creating flyers and posters to convey information that parents need to know.  I can use publisher to create news letters and various other things to send home with parents and also discuss what it is that I'm sending home with parents so it's not "just another piece of paper".  It is important to discuss with parents what we need them to know.  When I have parents who are kiniesthic I would like to show them what we are doing in the classroom and get them involved.  Showing them and getting them involved in what we are doing will help these parents to be able to engage with their children at home with what we are doing at the center.
