[quote=Anonymous]I recommend that every parent who can possibly make it go in for the Columbus Day Open House in October.  It helped me SO much to understand my young elementary schoolers' classroom set-up and routines.  Then I could ask my child more specific questions about their day and get more information from them than when I didn't know the terminology and routines the teacher was using.  The Columbus Day Open House is MCPS-wide and to my knowledge every MCPS elementary school does it.

We have only had 1 teacher who sent a weekly update out of 7 school years between my 2 kids.  Volunteering depends a lot on the individual teacher, and I can see it definitely taking a back seat when the teachers are new/doing something completely new like two-way immersion.

It does suck that one grade is basically always going to have teachers who are doing that particular job for the first time.  But then again, it also kind of sucks for the rising 2nd graders who missed two-way immersion by 1 year.  Such is life.  [/quote]
