Dear Parents,

In an effort to look for more ways to let you know what we are up to, we are joining the communication world of media type="custom" key="6786355"! You can now be up to the minute on what your child is learning. All you need to do is sign up with Twitter, enter a “tweet”, then find us and request to follow our class. Send me an email with your username so I know to accept your request to follow. It is that easy! In minutes, you can start getting “tweets” from our classroom. We will be tweeting lesson summaries, insights, and funny happenings.

For those of you worried about security, I want to assure you that no personal information will be on our site. I will **not** be posting pictures of our children or releasing their names. Initials only will identify individuals from our class when necessary. All of our followers have to go through me for permission to keep up with us. Our “tweets” are locked and secure. I will be the only one logging onto the site and typing what your students dictate. I am taking every precaution to make this a safe and educational experience.

I am so excited about this opportunity. I feel it will add another dimension to the learning experience in our classroom. Sharing what you have learned makes the lesson even more interesting and permanent. I am also glad to have another way for you to be involved in your child’s learning experience. Please note that our “tweets” and any replies that you make will be directly related to class activities. If you have individual concerns or questions, you can direct those to me in a private email, a phone call, or in person.

I hope you will join us out there in Twitterville soon at [].

Sincerely, Miss Ryan
