Whanau support

Following on from my previous post "The Dunn Way", I managed to contact most whanau that Friday, by either speaking to them via phone or leaving a message. This was a win-win situation because whanau trust me as their child's teacher and know that I am a phone call or email away and I have a strong ally to maximise student learning.

Some learners showed up today (Monday) buzzing with excitement. Their whanau were thrilled to have received a positive message from their teacher, while others had not received any recognition. One little treasure was taken to the shop to buy me a gift.
