[Since some parents said they didn’t get my email last week, I am posting it here. BTW, the email must have gone into your Spam or Bulk folder. You should get into a habit to periodically check that folder.]

Dear parents:

I hope by now your child is in the right class and everyone has got his workbook. I have several students who just got their books last Sunday, hence they didn’t do their homework for last week.

I need your cooperation to make sure that your child is indeed learning. One thing I have been telling the students is that they should have one notebook to take notes in the classroom, then they should have another for doing the homework. One way you can help is to check his classroom notebook to see if he has taken any note. Some students came to the class empty handed, no pen/pencil, no notebook, had to borrow a piece of paper and a pen from others. Also, please check my blog site at least weekly to know the homework and make sure that your child is doing his homework.

You should also encourage your child to participate more in the classroom, don’t be afraid of asking questions or making mistakes.

Thanks for your help.
