Thank You!

I want to thank everyone that has sent me a blog and that have given me ideas on ways to improve my advocacy plan or those that were interested in it and wanted more information about it. I feel so strongly about this advocacy plan and I am so glad that I am getting feedback from the parents whether it is good or bad. I am able to handle it so I can make keep making it better. Improving it is the key. I want to wish everyone the best of luck on their advocacy plan and we are almost done and I hope to see you all at the graduation in June 2014! Thank you all again.

Family Literacy Bags

Questions you have with which your colleagues may be able to provide help and support.

What do you do when you might not get the feedback that you want from one parent but, the other parents have good feedback? 

Some of the resources that I am seeking is asking teachers that have used literacy bags in their classrooms and finding out how they thought it has helped the child. I am also asking parents whose child has brought a literacy bag home how they liked it and if they think it has helped them with parent involvement. 

One really great resource that I found was a book called Teaching Literacy in Kindergarten by Lea M. McGee & Lesley Mandel Morrow

(You can also use this book for  Preschool)

Some other great sites for finding literacy activities and ideas that I used are:
