In my class of 109 Language and Literacy Development in Early

Childhood, I made an assignment Description of a Parent Involvement
Activity, for it I create a flayer inviting parents, a program to develop, a
guide with simple steps to teach Children and explain the importance
of reading aloud.
I designed and develop a Field trip to Wagner Farm, for it I made
flayers, letters of authorization and invitation to parents to be
volunteers in this activity and others considerations like snack, special
necessities, hourlies of trip, following the Trip Planning Form given for
my teacher in class CHD 258 Principles of Preschool Education.
