Hi, everyone! I would like to introduce myself this one time only in English(-; I am Madame Roy. I live in Gatineau and I will be your child's grade 4 French immersion teacher this year. It will soon be my 23rd year of teaching at St.James School. I am starting my seventh year teaching junior grades in French immersion. Previously, I taught KP for 16 years!! As I used to do in KP, I still only speak French in the classroom!! Your child will also be trying to speak more and more French in class every day... Trying is important and mistakes are not... we learn from them(-: I strongly believe in being a French role model and as I teach the French language, I will also try to "share" its culture with your child. A culture includes the arts, literature, some specific expressions, customs and the humor found in many "Francophone" communities in Canada...
As a teacher, I believe in cooperation and collaboration with my students and YOU, their parents. We are all a team for this coming school year. Your encouragement, your support, and assistance will make a world of difference in your child's learning journey. I will try my best to give your child a positive and fulfilling learning experience in immersion this year.
September will be an adaptation period for your child and I. We will get to know each other.We will laugh, listen, work and LEARN. Emphasis will be put on oral communication and listening skills to enable students to become risk takers when speaking French. A language is only alive and useful when we can SPEAK and understand it. Allowing us to communicate with others.
As well, the atmosphere of the classroom is most important. A climate of respect for oneself and others has to be present at all times. I strongly believe in making students responsible for their learning and behavior. Treating others the way we would like to be treated is also part of our believes at St.James. I am confident that we all share these same goals and values. In gr.4, we will strive to value all traditions, unique personalities and contributions that each individual brings to the classroom.
Thank you for your support, trust, and collaboration during the
2018-19 school year. Looking forward to seeing you on Program Night (-:
