Ten Ways for Busy Moms to Help in the Classroom
Looking for ways to help in your child's classroom? A Tale of Two Mommies provides 10 things you can do to stay involved.  Check out their full article at   http://www.sacmomsclub.com/....
 
  1. Snack Parent. If you’re unavailable to be in the classroom, you can contribute bulk snacks or volunteer to coordinate the snack schedule.
  2. Home Helper.  Offer to have things that need to be corrected, collated, cut or crafted sent home with your child for you to work on at home.
  3. Party Parent. If you can’t help with classroom parties, volunteer to send in needed supplies.
  4. Volunteer Coordinator. If you don’t have time, but you do have organizational skills, offer to coordinate monthly volunteer calendars.
  5. Career Day. Have a special skill, talent or resource? Offer to share it with the class as an enrichment activity.
  6. Field Trip Chaperone. Get a list of the year’s field trips and select one to make time for.
  7.  Excel whiz? Even if you're no Betty Crocker, maybe you have other skill sets to offer, such as organizing budgets in Excel or updating the class roster.
  8. Develop a web page If you have a computer background, consider offering to update or create a class webpage for the teacher. There are many easy web page tools you can use to create this.
  9. Make Decorations at home Every classroom teacher could use help with decorations. Check with the teacher to see if they are planning on decorating the room to celebrate any upcoming holidays. Then offer to make these at home and bring them to class.
Make your child a priority These years go by so quickly; remember that involvement in your child's life and classroom is the most important gift you give them. Make them a priority when it matters by making it a point to be present in the classroom at least some time during the year. 
Add to the list. What do you do?

This is a great list. Although my son is only in preschool, I have been to participate with some of the suggested tips.

  Having a list like this is so handy. I am going to show it to the PTA and hopefully a flyer will be made.
