If I were an elementary school teacher I would encourage all of my parents to sign up for this tool. Not only would it provide active involvemnt in their childs learning, but it will reinforce the reading strategies that are taught in my class. Again I have to reflect back on my National Board experiance and say that this tool is exactly what the board is looking for when envolving the parents and or the community of parents with what you are doing as an individual in the classroom creating a learning team that reinforces eachother in and outside of the classroom."

Trisha, I am really glad that you were able to find out more about this site. Last week I tried to look in to it and all it would allow me to do was send them my e-mail. I never did get any information about it though. I personally believe that parent involvement, especially at a young age is imperative in a child's life. You said it perfect what you mentioned time deprived parents needing fun ways to connect to their kids. I am not a mom yet, but with as busy as my schedule is now, I can understand how parents with children struggle to find time to search out good information for their children. It is great to know that someone out there is lending parents a hand, and suppling them with an easy was to connect with their children. I can't wait to learn more about this site for myself!
