Re: [LM_NET] HIT: suggestions for Family Literacy/Parent Involvement Night

[Cheryl Youse <cyouse@GMAIL.COM>]

Great suggestions! And it's a good time for a book fair. If you have any
teacher colleges in the area, I've discovered that student teachers love to
come help at events. I had some working with pipe cleaners and students to
make pipe cleaner animals (anything Seuss works and there are some good
websites with instructions). They also helped pretty much wherever I needed
them. I discovered this by having one student teacher in the building when I
was planning a reading night. She asked if she could bring friends and about
ten showed up. It was marvelous.
