Bienvenue and welcome!
Progress report update: Please note that late work turned in on Thursday, February 24 was not factored into the progress report average. This may result in a significant change in your grade, as your grade will improve with an increase in homework credit.
This page will keep you updated on 2nd, 5th, and 6th grade French. For 5th and 6th grade classes, please use the calendar on the upper left of this page ("View calendar") for daily homework assignments.
This page also details fifth period 6th grade LAE in 7C. Information about LAE in 7C will be updated here all year.

March 2011
For LAE and French 5 &6:
You are able to turn in late work to me via the office or before and after school in 7C any day of the week, not just the days we have class. Your homework completion grade for the assignment will drop 10% for each school day it is late.
AD NAUSEUM: This is the perfect time to fine tune your organizational skills. I encourage using different colored highlighters in your workbook and in your notes. We will explore some graphic organizers such as color coding in class.
