connecting with families
As part of the CDP, DSC created a number of short conversational activities, Homeside Activities, to help bring parents into their children’s school learning. These activities, 18 at each grade level K through 6, are designed to connect with families, build classroom community, and address issues related to character development. In all four of the videos below, we see the introduction of the home activity, some part of the actual home conversations, and the follow-up class discussion.
Note: The Child Development Project (CDP) is now named the Caring School Community, a program of Collaborative Classroom.
