In a Million Words or Less — Parent Activity to Begin a New Year

Check out this article in Education World for a wonderful beginning of school activity.  Teachers ask parents to write a 1,000,000 word or LESS essay describing their child.  It give the parents a loud, clear voice and allows the teacher personal insight into a child’s life.  You could make this completely optional and stress that writing ability is not the point — the point is learning the most we can about every child in our building.
