Transcript Welcome to Mme Sooley’s Grade 8 class

 I’m
a parent too! Here I am with Ian (13),
Tara (11), Patrick and Charlotte (4)
 This is my 3rd year teaching immersion at
RPS, and I taught Grade 6 at HMMS for 7
years prior to that.
6
Sooley: Math (Daily), Science (3 times per
week);
 6/7
8
Haughian: Math (daily);
Butler and 7 Marr: Post Intensive French (4
times per week).
Respect each other, yourselves, and everyone’s
stuff!
 Do as you are asked.
 Mme Sooley will never ask you to do anything she
wouldn’t do herself. Homework is the exception
to this – my homework is different, but yes, I DO
have plenty!
 Use your conscience and common sense.
 Do your best!
 (It won’t take your teachers long to figure out
what your best is.)
 MAKE MISTAKES! Everyone does. Nobody is
expected to be perfect! (Your teacher is not
perfect either!)

I use the ‘10-minutes-per-grade-level’ rule of
thumb.
 This means your child should spend an average
of 60 minutes per evening on homework at the
most in grade 6 (all subjects combined),
including work on long-term assignments.
 Math homework
 Post-Intensive French is an interactive program
during which most learning takes place with the
teacher modelling; there is very little
homework.
 Science will have very few daily assignments;
most homework will consist of working on longterm projects, writing pieces, etc.
