MOBB, Inc.'s Classroom Visitation Challenge

Join MOBB, Inc. and participate in our Classroom Visitation Challenge this week. I'm sure you all know that parental involvement is key to the success of your child. School leaders and teachers love it when a parent shows up to lend a hand. Spending just a few minutes out of your day at your child's school says many things to the child. You will become aware of his/her responsibilities as a student. You will be able to speak specifically to your child's assignments, which actively engages the child in his/her work, as well. 

Spending time in your child's classroom sends strong messages: 1) Education is valuable to me 2) My support is extended to you (the teacher) & my child 3) I want nothing but the BEST for my child. So, visit your child's classroom/daycare/preschool this week. Spend at least 30 minutes-1 hour assisting the teacher, 
ask if you can participate in the read aloud, file some papers, escort the children to special area, or volunteer in the school's library or cafeteria. Those are just some ideas of how you can help. Your presence speaks volumes. Share how you spent time in your child's school this week. 

Before the visit, find out the school's policy for volunteering. Random visitations should be permissible, however, you can check with the principal prior to the visit if you just want to show up without notice to the teacher. 


If you want more ideas for how you can assist in the classroom, email me at jchatman@mothersofblackboys.org
