Hi all
French Immersion Classes who come to me for English (Boisjoly's and Francis' classes)
Unfortunately, today has been a day where I spent a considerable amount ot time discussing the following:
1. the need and importance of coming to class prepared. Too many students come to class without pencils, pens, books, binders, assignments and the first 15 minutes of class means they are running back to their lockers for this, that and whatever else. No more. As of tomorrow, there will be no more leaving the class. Too much time is wasted and by the time you reach December of your Grade 7 year, you should be fully aware of what is needed for each class.
2. that some students are woefully behind in handing in assignments. You know who you are; I nagged you relentlessly in class this afternoon. You have until the end of next week to get all of your overdue assignments in to me. If they are not into me by that time, you will receive a mark of 0 for that assignment.
3. that some students are still unaware of how to hand in an assignment. You need your name, date, assignment number, novel, chapter and page numbers on each assignment. We learn elements of this in the primary years. You are heading off to high school. More care is needed with your assignments.
Tuesday (tomorrow), I will give the grade 7/8 FI classes a "catch-up" period to work on your final assignment for your novel or to work on an assignment that is past due.
High School Selection
You are probably aware by now that Victoria Park IB and SATEC entrance tests are on the same day. If you have a time that conflicts, you are being advised to contact Victoria Park and they will give you an alternate date/time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are difficulties arranging times and I will speak to our Guidance Counsellor.
Food Drive
Notices have gone home regarding our Clairlea Food Drive. Please bring in a non-perishable food item for our food drive (peas, beans, rice, cooking oil, baby food, soup, pasta).
See you all tomorrow.
