Parent Newsletter Project: Newsletter #1

Read chapter 8 information and NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standard 7.B.06 guidelines for newsletters. Your newsletter must meet both criteria. You will also find helpful information in the document “Newsletter Tips”.

Newsletters are an excellent one-way communication tool from school to home. It helps the parents stay informed and connected.

For this assignment you will submit two separate newsletters; however only one is being done at this time. Each newsletter is worth 12 points and both must be for parents of preschoolers. Guidelines for the second newsletter will be provided when the assignment is posted.

The first newsletter will be for one month; it will be the ______ (month newsletter is due) newsletter for your preschool class.

The newsletter should be anti-bias, developmentally appropriate and for a state funded preschool. Do not write a newsletter for a private school.

Each newsletter should be only 2 pages.

You will upload the newsletter, identify it has Newsletter 1.

Your newsletters should include the sections below, listed beneath each section I have included areas that can be covered for that section title. This should assist you with knowing what to write for the section.

  1. Activities for home
  • For children and for parents to do with children, for family outings
  • Announcements of community events
  1. Activities and routines at school (must be age appropriate for preschoolers 3- 4)

  1. Expression of gratitude to families in general

*For the “parenting topics” section of this assignment I selected the topic for you. Your topic will be: The Importance of Play (in preschool). You only need to write about this one topic although there are many good topics that should be included in a newsletter.

Your newsletters will not be graded if it is not in a newsletter format.

The following design/layout should be followed to maximize the effect of the newsletter:

  • Title your newsletter
  • Date your newsletter
  • Titles for sections
  • Newsletter should be for a child development center of preschoolers
  • Cite your references for the Parent Topic: The Importance of Play
  • Graphics
  • Captions
  • Short paragraphs
  • Bulleted lists
  • Page borders
  • Columns and column dividers: 2—3 columns per page
  • Font (text): Times New Roman or Courier for text
  • Font (headlines, captions, titles): You can select as long as it is different
  • Align text to the left (do not center text) for the section

Be sure to read all the guidelines and the rubric so you will have what is required.
