Junior
Kindergarten Homework Letter
Dear Parents,
We will be assigning homework because we believe it is important
that students begin to develop good homework habits in the early grades. Also,
homework gives us a way to have students practice what is taught in class.
We will assign homework Friday through Wednesday. Every Friday homework
will be sent home and is expected to be returned on Wednesday in the folder
provided. If there is no school on Fridays students will receive their homework
on Thursdays instead. A record will be kept of all homework returned on time for
each child; however the homework will not be graded nor recorded on the report
card.
Please ensure your child uses a pencil (not a pen) to complete his
or her homework. All pictures are to be colored (with crayons only) even if the
directions do not specify coloring. Please do not use markers.
Reading to your child on a daily basis is required and highly
recommended. You can start a routine of making reading part of your child’s
homework. I also suggest you take the time to visit the library on a regular
basis with your child. You can create a separate library card for your child so
he or she will feel it is their responsibility to read and take care of the
books. I would like to inform you that the public library has an amazing
variety of Arabic books. Even if you are not a speaker of the Arabic language,
you can still ask your child to point out the letters/words they learned at school.
We encourage parents to praise their child’s work each night. We do
believe that parent’s words of support are the single most important way to
motivate children to do well in school.
If your child is having difficulty completing the homework or think
the homework requires longer time to do, we ask that you take a few moments to
review the related skills.
Please note the following:
-
Green folder is for student's school
work (what they do in class). Students need to keep the work sheets at home.
-
Red folder is for homework (English
and Arabic). Please keep weekly checked homework at home.
-
Orange folder is for French
homework.
Please do not hesitate to share any suggestions and/or comments with
me by e-mail.
Jazakum Allahu Khyran
