Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

Welcome to 4th grade science. My name is Miss Wilson and I am a pre-step student here a Bethune Bowman
Elementary. I am a Senior, elementary education major at Claflin University. I look forward to helping your child
excel and reach his potential.
My goal as a future educator is to guide your child toward academic success and to help build critical thinking
skills that will help him blossom into adulthood. I will do my part to inform you when your child isn't working to
his potential and/or involvement in disruptive class behavior. I am dedicated to the well-being of your child
and I need your cooperation in helping him reach his potential.
Your child will be required to keep a notebook or binder containing notes and other assignments to help
prepare for homework and exams. Tests will be given weekly on vocabulary, diagrams, investigations, and
content. Labs will be conducted three days a week. Please help your child prepare for these assessments
and sign all that are sent home and return with your child the next day.
Please help your child purchase the following materials for class: pencils, eraser, binder or
notebook, glue, colored pencils, and ruler. The binder or notebook will have five sections and they should be
labeled using tabs or dividers accordingly: Tab 1 Class work, Tab 2 Homework, etc. The binder/notebook is
20% of your child's grade. Therefore, it should be organized and assignments should be complete. Please
check your child's binder/notebook weekly!

I am looking forward to working with you and your child!! Were going to have a great year!!

Sincerely,

Bethany Wilson, pre-step student
