Classroom Communication

As far as communication in my early elementary classroom goes, I will have a great degree of communication with the parents outside of the classroom, since younger children don't hold most of the responsiblility. A majority of my communication with my actual students will be done in the classroom. It will be my responisibility to keep parents up-to-date on their son/daughter's standing in the class and possible areas that they made need extra help with. Or to even keep parents informed as to what classroom activities are coming up and about future projects that I may require help in putting together. I think the best way to communicate with these parents would be to set up a classroom website that is password protected and provides email service, such as a google site. That way I can post pictures of projects, reflect on student performance, and have individual converstations with parents all in one organized location. This would also be helpful to the parents, so they don't have to go all over the web to stay updated on their child's learning.
