Routines: Sharing Information with the Family
Daily Communication Sheet:
A daily sheet is one way to share information about routines at home and in your classroom with families.
Tools like these can also be used to help parents share information and communicate with you.
How do you think gathering this type of information helps teachers and families support a child’s social-emotional development?
By sharing information about routines at home and in the classroom, everyone can be more aware of individual children’s needs and how to best support them.
Two-way information sharing between parents and caregivers is crucial.
- How do you communicate with parents?
- Do you use daily sheets or an online communication system like Procare or Brightwheel?
There are many different ways, but ensuring that you use two-way communication is so important for families and teachers.
