Okay, so yet another evening elementary school activity is on the horizon: literary night. Apparently there are activity stations and a reading of some story by some author. You know, good stuff. Especially for my new reader, right?
The exact day I sent in my RSVP (I know, right?), someone in the civic organization I'm in set a meeting for the exact same time, 30 minutes away. And it's a biggie. Very important. Presence required.
So what do I do? How important IS literary night anyway? Is it going to be like museum night, when we were the only ones there? Or is it going to be like school picnic night where everyone was there? Please, weigh in. Lend me your ears-- no, your advice. Please!

At my school we use to have math night, but not any more because it was so poorly attended. (I always assume that Lee's Summit has better parent involvement than we, but I don't know that for sure.) As a teacher we liked for families to come so they would have ideas of how to help their child at home. However, attendance is not essential like it is at parent teacher conferences. I think it would be okay if you went to your meeting, and Sam went with a grandparent.
ReplyDeleteI think we have the problem solved now-- I think the meeting is going to be moved so that I can take my little reader to his event. I'd tried that once before, but it hadn't worked out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input, teacher friend!
