http://www.hopkinshoppinhappenings.com/2015/03/daily-parent-communication.html

Saturday, March 7, 2015. Many of us send home communication on a daily basis to parents on how their child behaves in school each day.

That was a very rare occurrence. I love 1-2-3 Magic! Whole Brain Teaching has also come up with a new book that you can check out by clicking on the pic...
