A3: invite Reading Recovery Ps and offer babysitting so they could meet w/ reading teachers #diverged

@jacq_mccarthy Thank you so much! #diverged

jacq_mccarthy Aug 23 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: As a teacher, make a commitment to call one parent a day, use tech,such as periscope & Google Classroom, to include them. #divergED

PegGrafwallner Aug 23 @ 8:25 PM EDT

PegGrafwallner Aug 23 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A4b How about letting Ps know when great things happen?! We have pre-printed postcards-a quick line, a drop in the mail, viola! #diverged

A4. Daily handwritten notes to Ps about the positive! There is something about a handwritten postive note! #divergED
