WELCOME TO GRADE 4 FRENCH IMMERSION PROGRAM!
Dear
Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
Welcome once again
to the beginning of an exciting new school year! I hope that you and your
family have enjoyed the summer vacation. It is with great pleasure that I
introduce myself as your child's French teachers. I am starting my 20th
year as a French Immersion Teacher. I am passionate about teaching French as a
second language and I hope your child is ready to embark on an exciting journey
with me. My goal is for your child to enjoy learning a second language and
apply in their surroundings.
Although the school provides each classroom with the basic necessities, if you wish to send your child with their own supplies, the items listed below are particularly useful: glue sticks, hand held covered sharpener, pencil case, a black small tip and medium tip sharpie for Visual Arts. Other materials may be needed throughout the
year due to activities or class projects, please see notes in the agenda or my
blog as the year progresses.
Communication
between home and school is very important. The agenda serves as a homework and
communication book. It is a place to write notes regarding late arrivals, early
dismissals, illness, change in transportation, homework difficulties or
confusion. Please sign the agenda every night. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact me via the school secretaries @ 613-737-1141
or write a note in your child's agenda to book an appointment.
In order to help promote
healthy eating habits, please send a healthy snack. I am also asking to refrain from sending food
that contains nuts/almonds/cashews/sesame/seafood/fish as we have children with
severe threatening allergies.
ROUTINE:
A positive
attitude is the key of success.
Let's keep it all the time. At the beginning of
the school year, I establish a few simple rules which I expect each student to
follow. The rules are discussed as a class and are based on a respect for
others and for the property of others. Structure and rules promotes a great
learning environment. Treat each person with respect and dignity. It goes a
long way. Please talk with your child about what is going on in our classroom.
Friendly reminders:
