I do a monthly calendar and newsletter ... mine has a section with milestones / accomplishments where we 'reflect' on the previous months activities and what we've mastered, what interests and topics have been coming up and what we are working on for next month, another section for upcoming events where I elaborate on field trips / celebrations / closures / that are on that months calendars, a section for memos and general reminder notes like 'time to repack the bag for Fall' or 'reminder the sunscreen $$ is due' or 'time of year to check your child's file is up to date' and so forth and than I have a Kiddies Corner with recipes, song lyrics are games we are enjoying so that parents can if desired follow through at home with the words and so forth. I also occasionally add a Parent's corner where I throw in an article or information on particular challenges parents often face ~ separation anxiety, potty training, discipline tips, nutrition, sleep time Resistance and so forth and places to get more info on those if desired.
