Daily Parent Report: What did I learn today?

My students need mailing labels to complete a daily report to their parents regarding their behavior at school as well as some aspect of learning covered daily.

My Students

My kindergarten kids have a very active, full-day experience each day. There is so much to remember to tell their parents when they get home that sometimes they just get stumped. We have created a page for students to attach a label daily that describes and event at school.

My students are young kindergarten babies.

This is their first experience spending a full day in school. We do so much in school each day ranging from learning to read and learning basic math computations. The students want to remember everything they learned and share it with their parents when they get home. We have developed a way to help them with their memory as well as keeping parents apprised of what we learned in school each day. The students have a take home folder for homework and completed tasks. There is also a section for students to record how they behaved that day and to list something they learned or did in school that was exciting. We have discovered that the easiest way to successfully complete this task is to have students tell me what to put on the label and I type one for everyone and they affix it to their take-home folder. It is a great means of communication and can lead to some very interesting discussions when the students get home.

My Project

My students need the labels to be able to continue doing this project. The labels will be used every single day to keep parents informed of what the child is learning. When I visit with children each day, they are often able to refer back to a particular date in their folder and want to talk about something we did. The labels are an invaluable resource as a go-between with parents, teacher, and students.

The continuation of this project is important to my students because they want to have a "journal entry" about what they did.

They love discussing with their parents what they learned. They also love to give suggestions about what to type on the labels. This is a wonderful, easy resource for our classroom.
