I have added a few more pages to my Kindergarten Parent 101 class.  It is still a work in progress and I am adding content as I see the need.  I plan on adding content after this graduate class has ended on Dec. 15th because my Parent 101 class was not something that was done just for a grade………it is truly something that is being utilized in my classroom.  One page that I added today had to do with board games.  Many board games teach educational concepts.  I provided parents with a list of games that teach skills (see below):
