Welcome back!

I hope everyone had a great march break! Students had the chance to share what they did over their break in detail today, practicing their usage of the past tense. We will have a French test Friday of this week. Please see the homework page for other homework. 

Happy March Break!

A note to students in 7H and 7B. Your next "actualité" assignment will be due Monday April 4th. Have a great March Break everyone! 

Parent/teacher Interviews

Parents, 

Today I sent home slips with your interview times. Please send me an email or phone if you would like to make alternate arrangements. 

The school is also doing a fundraiser and information for this was sent home today. Please let me know if you have any questions!

For the last couple of weeks, students have been working on writing their own story books.  I am very excited to post photos of the finished product and to have them share their work with parents! This project will tie everything that we have learned so far this year into one assignment.  At this point, students should be finishing up their rough draft and working on the correction stage of the writing process. I'm very impressed with what I'm seeing so far !

  

Homework Updates

Parents, 

Just a reminder.. In order to check homework updates you click on the "homework" (les devoirs) tab up at the top of the blog page. This main blog page is used to add photos, etc... which I haven't unfortunately done in quite some time. I hope to make a more detailed update soon. Thanks for your understanding and please don't hesitate to email or call if you have any questions regarding your child and homework

Welcome back! I hope that everyone had a great Christmas break. Today we had a great start to 2016. Students are continuing to work on assignments that were started before the break. Most will be worked on in class, but check the homework section for what will be asked of the students from home. 

Late French Immersion- My expectations for conversing in French in class are now higher than they were before the break. I expect students to speak 100% in French with both myself and their peers to get the full "immersion experience". When they don't know a word I encourage them to ask me or to look in their dictionary, but I expect that the effort will be made to express themselves in their second language. 

I'm very proud of how far the students have come so far and can't wait to see more progress in 2016.
