I tell them that it's their only homework assignment for the year. You learn all sorts of incredible things about the kids that you wouldn't otherwise--like the A student who didn't speak until he was 4; the 14 year old pilot; the child actor, etc.Samuel Rushmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185473060730482147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313039906974137147.post-39752635689095202982012-08-03T09:09:25.644-04:002012-08-03T09:09:25.644-04:00I love the idea of the letter from parents!

I haven't seen it geared towards parents before though. When I gave it to my students I got two responses, either a sentence or a couple pages. I think it would be really interesting to see what parent's wrote about their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
