Presentation Letter
Teacher: Mr. Duque

To the parents,

In order for your son/daughter to achieve academically, we will need your help asking your daughter/son to do her/his homework and study on a daily basis. Without your support there is very little we can do to help your daughter/son.

This is the best way to help your son/daughter about their daily, weekly and cumulative average. Your daughter/son will receive a minimum of one grade per week. Expect your son/daughter to be doing science homework at least three days a week.

The grade your son/daughter receives on his/her report card each grading period is an average of all the grades she/he received during that nine weeks. Grades are given a 100 point basis.

If you will like to speak with me regarding your daughter/son progress you may leave a message with your child’s counselor at (305) 557 3770. I will return your call as soon as possible.

With the combined consistent support, encouragement and supervision from parent(s)/guardian(s) and educators, your daughter/son will be provided with the opportunity to succeed commensurate to his/her abilities.

Sincerely

Mr. Duque

To the Student

Welcome to our science class. We will be doing together an exercise in investigation that will increase your ability to accurately observe and come to logical conclusions that is essential to good science. Therefore even though part of the study of this class will be from written materials, we are going to spend most of the time investigating the properties of matter in the laboratory and demonstrations that are designed to build good science skills and habits.

You will be expected to conduct yourself appropriately in the classroom, and in a safe, responsible manner in the laboratory. Should you come to either of them unprepared to participate or act inappropriately, you will be excluded from the activity in order to provide a safe environment for everyone, and you will also lose the grade.

If you have a satisfactory class absence, provisions will be made for you to make up the work without penalty. All makeup work given for any other cause will be penalized.

Research shows that scientific reading requires more time to understand than does fiction, or nonscientific materials. Therefore you should budget more time for your science reading and study than you would for less technical literature. Research has also shown that daily short study sessions produce higher achievement than one long cram session. In this course, study daily for a minimum of thirty minutes, and you will see good grades in your report card.

Success in this course will require your enthusiasm, consistent academic commitment and sincere intellectual effort. You will be one of those persons that could understand the world around you and why things happen, this will let you make correct decisions in live that will empower you as an outstanding citizen.
