Students in 9A, C, and G have just begun the novel “Toujours Plus Haut” so they should be bringing it home when they are assigned to finish a reading we have not completed in class or to work on their role in a particular chapter. Students are in groups of six and for each chapter they read, they get to do a different role until the end of the novel when they will have had the opportunity to do each role once.  These roles are summarizing, illustrating, vocabulary, asking questions, etc. After each chapter they do their role then present it to their group where they listen to each member present the other 5 roles. Students seem to get more out of the content of the novels when they get to work in these groups and it gives them the opportunity to speak to the others in French!!! So be sure to keep your eyes open for these novels and take the time to discuss with your children what happened in the story thus far. This will help then realize the importance of reading and making sure they are understanding what they’ve read.

Welcome to Madame MacIsaac’s Due Dates. I will be posting when assignments and projects are due as well as when I have returned them so that you can ask your child what they received for a mark. I may also post requests for materials things that students may need to bring in on particular days to work on in class such as bristol board, items from home, plastic containers etc.

Another detail I like to post is when I have sent home green sheets as I do need them back. Sometimes they don’t get out on the first Monday of every month so I like to inform parents of when in fact they have gone out so you can be looking/asking for them.

I hope you will find this helpful. As homework is the resposibility of the students, this is more of a reminder of when things are due as opposed to homework on a regular basis. Thank you for taking the time to visit.
