Teachers, students, parents and homework 2

Introduction

Homework must be part and parcel of any learning process. The classroom is just an artificial setting and classroom tasks are only starting points. They provide guidance, assistance and purpose. However, more tasks should be dealt with in the outside world. These tasks should meet some criteria in order to be effective. These critera may be linked to the teacher and learners, to the tasks assigned, or to the parents roles.… Continue

We have created a blog, which we hope will allow us to explore varying diets from around the world. Our goal is to understand what other country’s diets consist of and what they consider to be healthy. Here in New Hampshire, we eat a lot of seafood and lobsters as we are so close to the Atlantic Ocean. We also grow and eat fresh corn, apples, strawberries, blueberries and even pumpkins. If you are interested, please visit our blog at cgagnon.edublogs.org and respond to the “World Diets” page. If you respond, it would be helpful if you could include which country or area of the world you are responding from. If you are not interested, it would be much appreciated if you could pass this along to a friend or colleague that may be.

We here in New Hampshire look forward to your response. Thanks

-Chris Gagnon – 6^th grade teacher

Les élèves de 6ème à Chichester Central School de Chichester, New Hampshire (Etats-Unis), tenons à vous inviter à participer à notre blog. Nous avons créé un blog, qui nous l'espérons, nous permettra d'explorer des régimes différents de partout dans le monde. Notre objectif est de comprendre ce que les régimes de l'autre pays consistent et ce qu'ils considèrent être en bonne santé. Ici, dans le New Hampshire, nous mangeons beaucoup de fruits de mer et des homards que nous sommes si près de l'océan Atlantique. Nous cultivons aussi et mangent du maïs frais, pommes, fraises, bleuets et même des citrouilles. Si vous êtes intéressé, s'il vous plaît visitez notre blog à cgagnon.edublogs.org et répondre à la «World régimes" page. Si vous répondez, il serait utile que vous pourriez inclure quel pays ou région du monde vous répondez à partir. Si vous n'êtes pas intéressé, il serait très apprécié si vous pouviez passer ce long à un ami ou un collègue qui pourrait être.

Nous ici, dans le New Hampshire nous réjouissons de votre réponse. Merci

-Chris Gagnon - professeur de 6e année
