We need to reach out to our parents and make sure that they are informed and get them to be aware of what is going on in class. The more we can involve the parents the more support they can give their students.

Editor's Notes
- Background knowledge is the knowledge that the student brings to the classroom. This comes from their own experiences, what they have learned from other classes, and what they have learned from others. Being Familiar with the new language. Do they have some kind of proficiency with the new language. They may have a social proficiency and be able to communicate with fellow students but may need to work on their Academic understanding of the language. View of Education. This comes from support at home. Does the parents view education as important and do they support their student in this.
- Communication- Come up with a newsletter in both English and your students home language, Communicate with emails to parents who have that capeablility and also meet with parents during conferences. This keeps your student’s parents up todate on whats happening. Technology- Having web sites can pass on important dates for activities and also what is going on in the class and at school. Having parents volunteer will help parents be engaged in the classroom and will help show their student that they like being involved in the education process. Cultural days- Helps celebrate the different cultures that are in your classroom.
