Short Term Classroom Goal
This year I enjoyed starting a classroom Twitter account to keep parents more informed of classroom information and activities. I received a lot of positive feedback from families and they enjoyed being able to see pictures of their child and snapshots from our day. I hope to continue to grow in my use of technology and find other ways to keep families involved in what we are learning.
