Newsletter describing your literacy program to parents/caregivers/guardians.

FIRST:

Ø 
You will design a 4-page newsletter describing your literacy program to parents/caregivers/guardians. This is a newsletter sent home at the beginning of the year (September) to make the home-school connection and to invite parents/caregivers/guardians to be partners in their child’s literacy learning.

Ø 
Remember you want to keep the newsletter simple but professional in your design and writing. This is a chance for you be creative and to articulate your understanding of literacy learning for a particular grade level.

SECOND:

Ø 
Attached to your newsletter is a 3-page explanation, double-spaced, 12fonts of the level/grade you have chosen, a description of the classroom community you have chosen in terms of cultural and linguistic diversity and special needs. You may include any other information you feel is relevant to explaining the philosophy of your newsletter.
