Notes on Magnets

Hi,

Here's some updates from me. I have created some notes on Magnets that pupils may find them useful in their revision or to get some quick facts.

Thanks!

Cheerios,

Letter to Parents

On the first day of school, I will give a letter to my pupils' parents to formally introduce myself and tell them my expectations and what to expect in the school year. I managed to find the letter that I sent at the beginning of year 2009. Some confidential details have been deleted. If you are having the writer's block, feel free to take a look at the letter. It may give you an idea for your own letter to parents.

Dear Parents/Guardians,


I am (Name) and I will be your child’s form teacher till the end of this school year, 2009. I would like to express my congratulations to you and your child for his/her good academic performance in 2008.

2009 will be a transition year for your child as he/she will be taking an additional core subject (Science), participating in co-curricular activity (CCA) and attending supplementary class. I believe that with good time management and constant revision, your child will be able to cope well with the additional responsibilities that he/she is entrusted with.

I have given a copy of the students’ expectations, class timetable, student profile form and profile analysis form (Getting to know you!) to your child. I would appreciate it if I could receive the forms on Monday, 5th January 2009.

It gives me great pleasure to work with you to help your child scale greater heights in his/her studies. I believe that every pupil in (Class) has a unique set of talents and abilities, and I shall be working closely with you to help your child maximize his/her potential.

Feel free to contact me in school at ___________. The best times to reach me are after 10.00 a.m. You could also email me at ________________________.

Thank you.


Yours sincerely,

Student Profile Form for sharing

Hi educators,

School's starting! Aren't you excited? I really am. Spent my weekend writing and composing some basic 'survival guide' for my students. I have attached a student profile form that you may want to use for your pupils. Feel free to copy it onto MS Word and print for your class. :-)
