I am a 5th grade math teacher at a title 1 school and we have little to no support from home and I think this letter would be a great way to involve parents in helping their child at home if they have background information about what they are learning in class. I really enjoy reading this letter and look forward to remixing it . There is full alignment to depth and breadth of alignment to the NC math standards. 5. NBT.7 However, it also serves as information for home school communication. Learning objective not clearly outlined. No assessment strategies have been indicated. Strengths: Great home school communication, keeping parents informed. The letter is aligned with a specific standard for that grade level. Opportunities: This letter could include some basic materials or resources that parents can access away from school.

(1.) Good afternoon! My name is Mrs. Ashley Shepherd and I am a 5th grade math & science teacher and appreciate aligned resources for students and parents.
(2.) Full alignment to depth and breadth of standard and partial alignment of standards (for parent explanation).
(3.) Has no learning objectives. (none needed, as material intended for parents as a support resource).
(4.) No learning objectives, hence no assessment strategies. However, discuss of how students are assessed could be and is partially included.
(5.) Strengths - parent and community resources and engagement.
(6.) Opportunities - preface with specific activities or tasks students will complete and share those resources exactly in relation to the content discussed in the parent letters.
