This is the first year since I have been teaching that my school district did not require home visits. I see the ups and downs to home visits. Safety was always a concern and the invasion of privacy, but I must say that I really did learn a lot about my students and their families while doing the home visits. It was a great way to meet with the family before the school year began and build a relationship with them.
In lieu of home visits, we decided to have a Back-to-School Pizza Party at a local park. It was great seeing my students and their families and being about to socialize with everyone. I didn't do a great job capturing all of the fun, but here are a few pictures. School will soon be here!
