1. classes on setting up a home library.

2. information about the importance of
play.

3. a "make it/take it" class on
homemade reading materials.

4. a teacher-parent conference.

would (3) a "make it/take it class on homemade reading materials
Not be included in a parent-teacher study meeting?

I am not real sure I've chosen the most appropriate answer. Please help!

I'm not familiar with the term "parent-teacher study meeting." What does your text say about it?

Its Kind of like an out-reach program.

My text states:

"Some possible themes of study meetings include:the effects of television viewing on children's language development,bilingualism,free and inexpensive home toys that promote language. Other high priority topics to discuss include:
1.parents showing concerns over their children's articulation and vocabulary
2. Sharing information on social interaction techniques that the staff
uses to increase children speech by listening,following children's lead,
and expanding conversation is very important.
3.The child's home access to creative materials,such as drawing and marking tools.
4. Parents need to know how influential
they are in modeling an interest in and posititve attitude toward writing,
speaking, and reading.
5. Reading picture books and sharing stories with the family at home will stimulate children's desire for more.
Discussing quality and advertising books can combat a television dominance in the home.
6. Parents may have many questions about reading and writing and the alphabet letters."

this is about all my text states, I reaaly donot know if my answer is correct.

please help!

This looks as if these parent study meetings are held in groups. If that is the case, then #4 is the one that should NOT be included because a parent-teacher conference is about only one child. This would not be helpful for the other parents, not to mention the privacy issue, especially if the child is having a tough time of it all.

Thank you for copying your text information.

According to it, the purpose of a parent-teacher study meeting is to teach the parents about preschool education in general. The first three choices do that. A make-it/take-it workshop for homemade reading materials fits that purpose. I assume it would include such things as making signs that label the bed, wall, floor, and stove.

The one thing your text doesn't mention is a parent-teacher conference. A parent-teacher conference is an individual conference between the teacher and the parent(s). They discuss the child, his progress in school, and pertinent home conditions.

Therefore, the only answer is 4. A parent-teacher study meeting should NOT include a parent-teacher conference.

sorry-- I forgot to mention the text states: "the center's staff, parents,outside experts, or films can

present ideas to be studied and discussed.

That goes along with both Writeacher's and my answers.

A parent-teacher study meeting is a group meeting with several parents.

A parent-teacher conference is only between the teacher and the parents of one child.

thank you for the enlightment.

As a point of reference, parent teacher meetings discussing a child should never be done in a public forum, in hallways, or such. Only in private offices, conference rooms, etc, with no interuptions, and no open doors, ever. There are a zillion reasons why this should be so. Also, never in homes because you as a teacher cannot control the environment, who will be there, and provide for your safety.

To determine whether option (3) "a 'make it/take it' class on homemade reading materials" should be included in a parent-teacher study meeting, we need to carefully analyze the possible choices.

The purpose of the parent-teacher study meeting is to provide parents with information and resources that will support their child's education. It typically involves discussing topics like academic progress, behavior, and strategies for success.

Option (1) suggests offering classes on setting up a home library. This is beneficial as it encourages parents to create a reading-friendly environment at home, which supports literacy development.

Option (2) mentions the importance of play. Including information on the significance of play in a child's learning and development is also valuable, as it helps parents understand the benefits of play-based activities and how they contribute to their child's growth.

Option (4) refers to a teacher-parent conference. These conferences are commonly held separately from parent-teacher study meetings and are specifically designed for individual discussions about a child's progress and any necessary interventions.

Now, let's focus on option (3), which is a "make it/take it" class on homemade reading materials. As parents, attending this class could provide them with ideas and hands-on experience on creating reading materials at home. These homemade resources can contribute to fostering a love for reading and improving literacy skills in children. Hence, option (3) should be included in a parent-teacher study meeting.

In conclusion, based on the analysis provided, option (3) "a 'make it/take it' class on homemade reading materials" should be included in a parent-teacher study meeting. It aligns with the objectives of the meeting, which is to equip parents with knowledge and tools to support their child's education.
