MGRP

The MGRP helped me understand more about parents in the classrooms, but it also made me realize how I can use genres in my classroom. Making the genres really helped me to understand my topic, so they would be great to have students do. Thinking of the genre ideas really gave me ideas that I want to use in my own classroom, like having a teacher blog where I can let the parents know what is going on in the class and let them know what they should see coming home. It is a great way to communicate with all of the parents at the same time.

Through writing my paper and doing research I learned that parents want to come into the classroom, but sometimes they are scared to. They do not want to step on toes or make more work for the teacher. So it is our job to bring them in and make them feel wanted and welcome.
