Parent Involvement

I would like to extend the offer to participate in the teaching and learning process.

• Do you have an idea for teaching science or social studies?  
• Would you like to read you favorite kids book to the students?
• It can be the whole book or just part of the story.  
• Would you like to teach Junior Achievement to our class?  
• This would be completed with 4-5 (40 minute sessions)
• Materials are provided by Junior Achievement
• Economic lessons for students. 
• Email me and Denise Wright <wrightd@jachicago.org>
• Would you like to come in and cook for the students? 
• (Then, I can turn the experience into a writing prompt.) 
• Would you like to come in to demonstrate a trade/skill?  
• Would like to provide the students with a math review game
• multiplication or division
• Would you like to create your own idea and link it to a state standard?
• With Digital Learning Day on Wednesday, is there something related to the telecommunication technology field we could share with the students?
• Even if not on February 1st.

Regardless of what you want to share, let's try to keep it a secret from the students, but please tell me.  If your idea is manageable, I would like to surprise the students with you, as a guest teacher, for a brief period of time.  Through these experiences, we can introduce students to new vocabulary, life-long learning skills, and many other benefits to experiential learning.

Before you come into the classroom, you need to have the correct paperwork filed through the office. 

Overall, I would like to see more students motivated to learn from these experiences.  Please feel free to respond in the comment section below.
