I have created a newsletter to send home to the parents in my classroom.  I wanted to thank them for the hard work they have put in as their students have been working "overtime" on the current project.   I have the idea that at the end of this project the students could perform their characters, almost like a Wax Museum set up, this would be a fun way for them to show their parents their finished project and the different medias they have used for this project.  I would love to have a regular newsletter going home to my parents so that they know what our class is doing.  I am a huge supporter of regular note going home to parents so they know what their kids are doing at school and I think a newsletter is a good way to do a general overview for all of the students and their parents.
