Example

Kasia and Barbara invite parents via email to the parent teacher meeting. They also hang a printed invitation on the pinboard. They choose to arrange the meeting in the afternoon, since parents can leave their kids in the kindergarten during the meeting. They inform parents about important dates and planned projects. In the last half they focus on media education in the kindergarten. They present how they involve media education in their practice, parents can ask questions and they hand out tips for media education at home.
