Parent-Teacher Conferences

Dear Parents/Guardians:

I would like to welcome you to Parent-Teacher Conferences. This is an ideal opportunity to strengthen

communication between home and school. To review your child’s progress, please take advantage

of this conference to discuss with me any issues or concerns that you may have.  I am looking forward to meet with you.

Sincerely,

Wafa Ramahi

May the day delight and the moments measure all the special joys for all of you to treasure. May the year ahead be fruitful too, for your home and family and specially for you. EID MUBARAK



Welcome Back

 

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 eight 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 phone me or 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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great Year!!

Dear Parents and Families,

Wow, what a year! Better yet - what a GREAT year! We have covered a lot of material and participated in many fun and exciting projects. We started to develop skills needed for learning the Arabic language. We made many new friends along the way too.

Each of your children has brought such joy and happiness to our classroom. I was so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children this year. My friends and family often laugh at me when I refer to your children as “my kids”. They are like my own children. They all have touched my life and this school year in very positive and rewarding ways. I hope as the years go by that they keep in touch. Today’s technology can help us continue the relationships we have built. I encourage and welcome correspondences from you and your kids.

Students, I have enjoyed being your teacher this year. It's rewarding when a teacher is able to get a class full of children who are eager to learn and willing to do the hard work necessary. You should be proud of the work you accomplished, both individually and as a class.

I’m glad I was your teacher.
I've come to love you so.
I can't believe the end is here.
I hate to see you go.

Remember all the fun we had
in all the things we did
But most of all remember...
You're a very special kid!

I will miss all of you. I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ramahi

Happy Earth Day!

Dear Parents,

April and spring go hand in hand. Spring is the season for renewal and new beginnings. Let’s refresh our promises to Mother Nature by recognizing Earth Day.

Our planet is at a turning point. The massive global migration underway now from countryside to cities will demand huge investments in energy, water, materials, waste, food distribution, and transportation over the next 25 years. If the right investments are made now, this unique opportunity will be the catalyst for dramatic changes in the built environment and the fight against carbon emissions and climate change.

Working together hand in hand to educate and engage our future leaders for environmental movement. Education is at the heart of change. Help us achieve our goal of protecting Mother Nature by recycling and using cloth bags and reusable water bottles even driving a hybrid car…etc.  

 

 

  

PRESENTATION

PRESENTATION

 

Introduction and presentation go together because the introduction usually leads right into the presentation phase of the lesson. They are still separate parts, as they accomplish different purposes.

The Introduction provides interest and motivation to the students. It focuses students' attention on the lesson and its purposes. It also convinces students that they will benefit from the lesson. 

There are many ways to present , here are a few: ·         Asking questions to get the students thinking about the topic. ·         Showing pictures that relate to the topic. ·         Telling a story to show the importance of the topic. ·         Bringing in real objects related to the lesson.

The presentation phase is when the teacher guides the presentation, but with student input and interaction.

We are proud Arabic Language learner presenting to other classes. We read, enjoyed and learned while we were preparing our presentations.
