My kids are older now.  They attended public schools
in NJ.  I never was invited to class, though we both
attended every recital.  I never did see them in
class.

I would think that there would be a daily "to do" list
for the situation where a parent shows up to "audit"
or "partake" in a class.  The parent needs to see
their kid do lessons in relation to other kids.  Good
scenarios should be figured out by now I assume. 
We're talking about grades 1-3 to check that the kids
learn to read.  I think parents could spare an hour to
attend a class per month.  They could even help grade
papers for the teacher - (a positive incentive for the
teacher to enjoy their company, and a way to show
relative capability of their child in relation to the
rest).
