Parent Input Guide

At the beginning of each school year each parent is asked to contribute ideas with a Parent Input Guide.
In this guide the parents are given most of the topics we will be covering throughout the year (ex. weather, community helpers, etc). We ask them to provide ideas in theme areas of activities that their child would like to participate in.
We have received some wonderful activity ideas and I try to incorporate at least one idea per week in my lesson plans. If it is a really neat art activity, for example, I will ask that parent to come into our classroom and do their activity with the children.
