Dear Parents and Students,
Hope you are having a fun, warm, and safe snow days.
None of us is born acting responsibly. A responsible character is
formed over time. It is made up of our outlook and daily habits associated with
feelings, thoughts, and actions. Responsible people act the way they should
whether or not anyone is watching. They do so because they understand that it's
right and because they have the courage and self-control to act decently, even
when tempted to do otherwise.
We want our children to appreciate the importance of being responsible. We also
want them to develop the habits and strength to act this way in their everyday
lives. Learning to be responsible includes learning how to be responsible for your
learning. Snow days was a great chance to help my students practice how to be responsible
for their learning.
I am confident that my students are doing their best in learning
Arabic. Keep up the good work, and bring it back to school to celebrate your accomplishment.
