ask a teacher or a linguist what to do

Answer 2

I would suggest you network with experienced teachers. Teacher conferences are a good start. Also, read on-line education journals that mention best practice methods of instruction for your grade level. Check websites of schools to see what teachers of similar grades do for their classes. I know our school has a great website where parents are involved with the education of their students by showing the student work, providing newsletters that clearly state expectations for the coming week(s) and more. Communication with parents at the levels you are teaching is very important so make sure you write clear, informative and complete newsletters that parents are sure to receive.

Here are a few sites to look at, but there are so many more!
