·        If you have your own laptop and permission to bring it to school, you are welcome to bring it to class for your school work only or you’ll be provided with a school netbook

 

·        daily agenda reminders, assignments, success criteria, rubrics, corrections etc. will be all available at stsimondicroce.blogspot.ca

 

·        send all your assignments to stsimongr7@gmail.com – I will print them or email you back with a rubric/grade

 

·        except for math, all your tasks (language, science, social studies) will  be completed using MS Word, Prezi or PowerPoint

 

·        install WordQ to help you write clear/fluent sentences with proper punctuation/grammar – it will read back exactly what you wrote so you can revise/edit it accordingly (see me for cd-rom and product key)

·        Get yourself a memory usb data stick to store your work (MS Word doc), novel study adobe pdf files, jpeg images, video – 2GB enough

·        Get yourself a binder & division tabs at Staples to keep any handouts/hard copies of your work for any subject (including French, Italian, Instrumental Music) organized and secured – when you need it, you know where it is
 
  • For art, get yourself at dollar store acrylic paints (primary colors), brush set (thick/thin) and a pack of canvas boards (8”x10”, 9”x12”)
