Reflection: These artifacts are forms that help the teacher communicate with the parents. The forms include communication about volunteering, student behavior, progress reports, conference records, and parent logs. These forms are very helpful with keeping the parents informed and keeping the teacher organized. Each one of these form will be used in my classroom specifically the weekly progress reports because I feel this is a very effective way to keep the parents informed regularly.
