Parents have homework too



Summer 2019

Dear parents/guardians,

I am looking forward to teaching your scholar this year in English class!  I need your help, though, in order for us to get off to a great start this academic year.  


Your assignment:  Please introduce me to your scholar.

  • What are his/her strengths, interests, talents, challenges?
  • Is there something about him/her that you would like me to know -- something that would help me reach him/her sooner or more effectively?
  • What are your concerns, fears and hopes for your child?

Format:  
  • I value your response in any form:  list, letter, poem, scrapbook page, pictorial, email, recording, etc. -- you choose!  
  • You may send your homework to school with your scholar, or email it to me at anita.ellis@lrsd.org  Please clearly identify your scholar by name so that I can award bonus points to him/her.

Due:  Monday August 19, 2019

The rewards:
  • You will help us get off to a great start this year by helping me get to know your scholar better
  • Your scholar will get extra credit to start the year off on the right foot
  • We will take our first steps in our partnership to support your scholar's learning and growth this year
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
