My Classroom
INTRODUCTION
I am currently teaching second grade in a K-3 elementary school in Charlotte, MI named Parkview Elementary. I teach all subjects to my 23 second graders. As a former Spanish teacher, I try work the language into my lessons to enrich my students' learning experiences.

PARENT COMMUNICATION
I use a variety of tools to communicate with my students' families. The main methods of communication I use are Remind, SeeSaw, and newsletters sent via e-mail. I like to keep an open line of communication by offering a variety of ways for parents to get ahold of me so they can pick the communication that works best for them.
Remind
One communication tool I use is called Remind. I can send parents text message reminders to keep them up to date about what is going on in our classroom. It sends the messages right to their phones for quick and easy communication. The app is free and it is a great way to quickly get in contact with my students' parents.

Weekly Newsletter
Each week, I send parents a weekly newsletter to let them know important dates and reminders for upcoming events. I also use this tool to give parents a quick snapshot about what we will be working on the following week. Click the PDF below to see an example of my weekly newsletter.
SeeSaw
One of my favorite things is sharing with parents what we are working on in class. I use SeeSaw to upload photos, videos, notes, etc. to give parents a glimpse into our classroom. It is essentially a safe social media site for parents to access photos and videos of their child. Parents can only see what their child is "tagged" in.
