Good morning and thank you for taking my sweeties! You will see all of the French classes today. All rosters can be found inside of the substitute binder. The following is a list of the classes you will see today with their lesson plans. All classes except for Study Hall are conducted in French.
Please share this email with students and let them read it themselves when you have finished.
Students must also read the board in case I have left any messages for them.
All students must be prepared to tell Madame exactly what they have accomplished during class time.
EVERYONE HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO!
Please take names of students who choose to not use class time well. Seriously.
I am sure that they will be productive and wonderful for you.

STUDY HALL
The study hall is supposed to be a structured study. There is to be no talking. Students must sign out of the class indicating their destination and cross their name off when they return. This makes unexpected fire drills much easier. There are English language books on the bookshelf at the back of the room.
Have a great day. I will be in this afternoon to collect all assignments.
Thank you!
Madame
BUT I DON’T SPEAK FRENCH!
The students will always be left with independent or group work. You are not expected to know the answers. There are several options if a student asks you a question you do not know:
- Ask the student check their textbook
- Ask the student to look in the dictionary
- Ask the student to ask a partner
- If appropriate and if time allows check on Madame’s website : http://www.pioneervalley.k12.ma.us/~davidsonr/
- “Google” the answer
- Ask the student to wait until Madame returns.
