Dear Parents,

We would like to wish you a great 2017-2018 year. In the Arabic World Language class, students will develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills through a variety of oral and written activities. Daily life contexts are used to develop practical vocabulary and grammatical structures. Students are encouraged to use Arabic inside and outside of class. We use the World Language Initiative (WLI) and other supplementary curriculum materials and resources.

Home Learning Activities

Students will receive a home learning packet every Monday. Arabic home learning will focus on practicing what has been taught in class, working on specific projects, and reading books. The home learning packet is due by Thursday. Books sent home are to practice reading strategies, blending letters, identifying known words and predicting the meaning of unknown words, reading with short and long vowel sounds. Regular practice supports developing reading fluency and comprehension. Books need to be returned to the Arabic class. The aim is to spend at least ten minutes daily reviewing Arabic content.

We will be posting the new information for every new unit on the Arabic World Language Blog (approximately every 6 weeks). We will occasionally post audio files in the blog for your child to listen to and practice their new vocabulary, as well.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
