Dear Parents/Guardians,
My name is Johanna Villalon
and I will be your child’s Chemistry teacher for this semester. It is
my personal interest to see your child academically and scientifically
excel in my science classroom. Therefore, I strongly suggest to check
on your child’s progress from time to time and feel free to contact
me if you have any questions (email: jvuribe@mail.utexas.edu)
This semester, your child will be studying chemistry
and relating their knowledge to public issues, such as pollution in
our city. Please review the tentative calendar for the 5th
six-weeks carefully and note that the project requires your child to
employ a moderate amount of out of class time (4 hours a week minimum)
to meet the highest level of success.
In particular, your child will be asked to research and collect
data that is required by their topic of interest. Class time will be
provided for your child to work on their projects. I will also be available
before school for students to come to the classroom and continue their
work. This project culminates in a presentation open to the community
to take action against pollution.
Homework will also be assigned for students to practice
major chemistry concepts. Additionally, periodic testing will be used
to ensure that your child is learning the material required by law.
Finally, I will strictly follow safety precautions to ensure a safe
environment for your child. There are no expenses foreseen for the project.
Please sign below so that I know that you have seen this letter and the following calendar. Thank you for your time and interest.
Sincerely,
Johanna Villalon
