Dear Parents,
I am honored to be a member of
the American Community School teaching staff. It is my pleasure to return to
ACS this year. For those of you that are new to ACS this year I look forward to
meeting you and your daughter/son, and for those who already know me I am also
looking forward to seeing you again.
My name is Wafa Ramahi, I am an
Elementary Arabic teacher, and I have a Masters in Curriculum and Teaching
Methods and have been teaching Arabic at ACS for eleven years. I am happy to
return for another great year.
It is my goal to introduce Arabic
in a way that your child will spark interest in reading, writing, and the oral
language. We will read in some manner in every class. Some days I will read out
loud to the class, while other days students will read to each other.
I believe that by all of us
working together we can make this a very successful year. I consider it of
prime importance that you be an active part of your child's education. You are
invited to visit the school any time that you have a question concerning your
child's progress.
Education is a partnership
between the student, teacher, and parent(s). Success in the classroom and for
the teacher can’t occur without the student. I look forward to build the
partnership with your child. You on the other hand have raised your child and
understand her/him in a way I never will, so if there is anything you would
like me to know about your child, now or in the future, I hope you will never
hesitate to contact me by note, phone, or e-mail. Thank you for allowing ACS
and I the opportunity to teach your child.
I consider it a great privilege
and responsibility to be your child's teacher this year, and look forward to
meeting each of you.
Sincerely,
Wafa Ramahi
