WEBSITE (Updated before 9:00 pm each evening)
On the course website, students and parents will find daily summaries of what has
happened in the class, notes from class, and all homework assigned. Notices of
upcoming tests will also be posted.
The purpose of the website is to allow parents to better understanding of what
their children are learning and doing during their day. If parents would like
further information regarding their child’s learning, they can request more
communication.
The website is also an opportunity for learners to become more responsible for
their learning. In the event of lost assignments, notes, or absences, the wiki will be
a vital resource for learners. It will be the responsibility of each learner to ensure
that they have the necessary information before coming into class.
DAILY ASSIGNMENTS
Throughout the course, students will be assigned daily work. Some of this work
will not be for marks (formative), but I still strongly recommend that students
attempt all work, since the feedback can greatly enhance their learning.
The remainder of the daily work will be for marks, and will be verbally identified as
such when assigned.
TESTS
Tests will include spelling tests, reading and oral comprehension and
verb conjugations.
Students will have opportunities to practice all these skills prior to any
assessment and will be provided with information on what the test
format will be.
