I decided to answer that question here for teachers who are thinking about starting a classroom newsletter.<\/span><\/p><h4 align=\"justify\"><strong>Any Tip that Will Help Students Become Better Readers<\/strong><\/h4><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">If you come up with an idea that doesn&#8217;t fit into the 4 categories of the<em> Parent Connection<\/em> Newsletter you can add it to your classroom newsletter. You might include events such as &#8220;Pajama Day.&#8221; On this day, students wear their PJs to school and bring their favorite books. Portions of the day are devoted to sharing books, writing on book-related topics, and doing other activities that promote reading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4 align=\"justify\"><strong>What Should You Include in Your Newsletters<\/strong><\/h4><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">First of all, my classroom newsletter is not as structured as this Parent Connection Newsletter. It varies from month to month based on events that are taking place in my classroom. Here are some of the items I include:<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Topics the Class is Going to Study<\/strong><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">I usually include a\u00a0short list of the major things we are going to study for the upcoming month. This may include\u00a0the name of the novel we are reading or\u00a0major units I plan to cover. The purpose of this is for parents to have enough information to ask their children questions about what they are learning in class.<\/span><\/p><h4><strong>Dates<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">dates when\u00a0projects must be turned in<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">unit tests<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">when money for yearbooks, field trips, or such must be received<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">due dates for permission slips<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">upcoming field trips<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">PTO meeting dates<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4 align=\"justify\"><strong>Photos<\/strong><\/h4><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">I love taking photos of my students in action, but I do not include these in the actual newsletter because it takes a huge amount of ink to print them. Instead, I place the photos on my website and provide links for the parents. I have some parents who print these out each month and place them in a scrapbook.<\/span><\/p><h4 align=\"justify\"><strong>Other Things You Might Include<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Student Birthdays<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Volunteer Information<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Changes in Classroom Rules or Policies<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Reminders<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4 align=\"justify\"><strong>Student Achievements<\/strong><\/h4><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">I also like to list student achievements. This can get really tricky if you are not careful. You need to take your classroom role and check off each student you highlight so that everyone gets a turn.<\/span><\/p><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">If you missed the link to get the newsletter to send home to parents, here it is
