Class Newsletters

Another linky party at A Class Act.  How do you communicate with parents?  One way I do is through a weekly newsletter, sent home on Fridays.  It has two sides.  I do the front side and two students do the back side.  Each Thursday night I complete the front page information and then give it to the artists of the month for their additions. 

Happy Communicating,
Laurie

    I'm working on my first newsletter. How long does it take you to plan your's out before Thursday? It's a great newsletter!

      Jason,

      When I very first created it, I am sure it took a little while to decide where everything would go. Now, all I do is typeover last week's news. It probably takes about 30 minutes each week.

      Good Luck,
      Laurie

    Your newsletter looks great. I've had plans to post about mine. I was just going to take a picture of it, but you obviously did something much more slick. Can I ask how you added it to your post?

      Tammy-

      I am a trial and error blogger, so it took a while to figure out. But here is what I do....maybe it will work for you:-)
      (These instructions are Mac versioned)
      1st-go to print
      2nd-click the pdf button, in the bottom left corner
      3rd-choose "save pdf to iPhoto"
      4th-then you can insert picture and choose it from your iphoto.

      Hope that helps,
      Laurie

      Laurie, you're brilliant. Who knew such a thing was possible? Thank you. Oh, and I have a Mac so your directions were perfect!
