What would you think if your parents had received a phone call from your teacher about how well you were doing? Would that shock you or would you feel proud. Well i read an article by one of my science teachers this year, Cara Syers. the article was called "In the words of Nemo the Clown Fish: "First Day of School! First Day of School!" She had talked about different things that we learned in preschool as she has a child in preschool. She talks about how in preschool there are many things we learn, like our colors, the alphabet, and other things, but there are more important thing that we learn while we enjoy finger paints and silly songs during circle time. We also learn life lessons, like how to share and cooperation. So then she thought about how she tried to think of the goals and the most important points that she teaches in her class. Is it just the basics of biology or is it more in depth than that? she wants her students to walk away knowing the big picture and how it relates to the world and such. Just like my English teacher.Ms. Smith, she has focused our lessons on what matters; what matters to us and to the world.
Mrs. Syars then goes on to say how she realized how important it is for teachers to communicate with their students parents. She says how it always makes her feel good to hear that her daughter is doing well in school and is getting along well with others. I'm sure your mom or dad would like to hear this information too. And wouldn't make you feel good to hear that from your teacher? Well, I think it is important that teachers should communicate with parents because it would help them understand what is going on and what they are teaching. Kids aren't always the best communicators. Then again they could work on communicating with their parents (something that I could work on) I'm not saying that you need to spend an hour going over every detail of what you did at school or tell them the latest gossip, but just enough to make sure you are doing OK and to help in any way.
