Welcome to the 2015 - 2016 school year!
Bienvenue à la rentrée scolaire 2015 à 2016!
Welcome to my class website for Division 3!
Please take a few moments with your child to look over my site. We did take some time today to look it over in class.
My email is always listed at the top ([email protected])! This homework 'page' is also a blog and students can post questions below each section. For example, they can post a comment about what is written in this post titled "Welcome/Bienvenue!!!" at the bottom of this same post!
In general, my homework policy is that students will take home work if they did not finish it in class. There will be more at-home work during projects.
I do not tend to send a lot of French work home, as most of it is oral and we do it in class where the students have access to me if they need help or have questions. :)
I do expect that work assigned for home or bringing back letters, etc, be finished and handed in either the next day (for small assignments) or, when specified, by the due date. I recognize that students often have extra-curricular activities. When/if there are days in the week where a student has activities back-to-back and might have difficulty completing homework that specific day, I will work with the student to find a solution. In general, I like to work with students to help them manage their time so they can learn how to do their homework, even on busy days. I believe that learning time management is an essential skill for all people, and one that will become ever more important as they grow older! :) Of course, surprise trips to see grandmothers or unexpected events do happen, and where there is a valid reason, I encourage students to simply talk to me the following morning to let me know why they didn't finish their homework. When students forget to do their work or forget their work at home, they will get a few reminders at first, and I will work with them to help create strategies that might help them remember.
