Bienvenue!

  Bienvenue à la nouvelle année scolaire!  We are looking forward to providing many creative and challenging learning opportunities for your child this year.  We are excited about the opportunity to team teach together and to combine our respective strengths and energy.

  Mme Lindsay will be teaching every morning and Mme Brophy will be teaching every afternoon.  Mme Lindsay will bring many « hands-on » learning opportunities to the Science (en français) and Math programs in the morning, as well as teaching the French writing component of the program. Mme  Brophy will share her experiences teaching and living around the world in the Études Sociales program and will focus on the reading component of the French literacy program.   The English component of your child’s program will be covered by both Mrs. Martin-Padfield and Mme Knappett.

  Your child will have Phys. Ed. four out of five school days.  Please make sure that he or she has an extra t-shirt and a pair of shorts at the beginning of the week for Phys. Ed., to be returned home at the end of the week.  A second pair of « indoor » running shoes is needed for use inside the school.

  The Junior grades are transitional years, with the emphasis on encouraging students to become more independent as learners.  We will be providing mini notebooks for agendas at no cost.  Please review your child’s agenda daily for any notes from teachers and feel free to use the agenda to communicate with us.  We check the agendas daily and they will be the primary source of communication with home.

  Also, please check out our class’ web page at huntsville56.blogspot.com   We will be updating our web page consistently throughout the year with photos, information and updates from our classroom.  Many of our updates will be written by students.  There is also a link to a Google calendar, where all important information related to your child’s student life will be placed.  Be sure to enter your e-mail address into the blog, so that you receive regular updates from our classroom.  If you do not have access to a computer on a regular basis, please let us know in the space below, and we will provide paper copies of our calendar and updates.

  We are looking forward to working with you and your child!
