Course Overview

01

Here’s what we’ll work on this year:

In 2023, we’re trying something new. Currently, we are mining a French book for student-selected vocabulary. We are looking at verbs in context, applying our knowledge, and reading short passages of text.

Topics we will cover include:

• More irregular verbs
• Possessive adjectives
• Vocabulary topics, such as foods and things in a house
• New verb tenses
• Simple readings

Classroom Procedures

02

Students are asked to:

• Arrive on time and prepared to learn
• Keep cell phones away and silent for the entirety of the class
• Keep earbuds and headphones away
• Ask permission first
• Be kind and respectful
• Be your best version of yourself
• Charge chromebooks every night

Schoology

03

Schoology

Schoology remains our digital learning platform. All classwork and assignments are posted to our class page.

I strongly encourage families to sit down with their student and look at Schoology on their Chromebook from time to time. This is the best way to keep informed about a student’s performance and assignments.

Communication

04

I will primarily use Remind for whole group communication to families.

For communication regarding individual students, I will either call or email.

Support

05

How to ask for help

Students who need support are encouraged to:

• Ask in class
• Come after school for extra help (2:30-3:00)
• Email me with questions
