When your child is learning English, it is important to have a homework routine at home. This can make a significant difference in your child’s learning.
It is important to provide a quiet environment with few distractions. Make sure that your child has all the supplies he or she needs.
If you don’t understand the homework, you and your child can write down questions to ask the teacher. Even if you cannot speak English yourself, you can still check on your child to see if homework assignments are finished.

In the United States, schools and families work together closely to help children succeed.
For example, you can contact your child’s teacher if you have questions, or you may be invited to events at the school.
When you are with your child, there is a lot that you can learn together!
It also has ideas related to math and science that are easy to try at home (like sorting socks).
Try some of these out, and if you find an activity that your child enjoys, look for different ways and places to try it, or share it with your child’s teacher — you may find something that other kids and families will enjoy too!
One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is the gift of two (or more) languages.
Being bilingual is good for your child's brain, makes communication with grandparents and relatives easier, and is an advantage for finding jobs in the future.

English-Language Learners, or ELLs, are a culturally and linguistically diverse group of students who often come from non-English or non-standard English speaking homes and backgrounds. These students come to PS 230 with different language, academic, and social-emotional needs and therefore require modified instruction.
