Letter Home

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Your child has completed the KAPOW program about the world of work. Ask your child to share with you the program worksheets and projects, which he or she may have collected in a special briefcase or folder.

We encourage you to find opportunities at home to help make your child aware of the world of work. Here are a few ideas for activities you might do.

► Discuss your early work experiences, for example summer jobs, babysitting, or

doing chores for neighbors.

► Take your child to work with you. Show him or her how you do your job and explain some other jobs at your workplace.

► Point out jobs your child can do at home (setting the table, putting clothes and

toys away), in the neighborhood (caring for pets), or at school {helping with a fund-raising activity).

► Encourage your child to see activities he or she can do now that may lead to

work later. For example, a child who takes a part in school plays may become a lighting director or a costume designer; a child who is a good swimmer may help a swimming instructor demonstrate strokes now and later take a course to become a lifeguard.

For the final KAPOW project, your child has completed a letter about favorite

(Thank you for your participation and support.)
