Welcome to Mrs. Fontaine's homework page. Here, you can find weekly class plans and reminders.

A few notes:

  • We will have weekly reading homework in this class. Ask your student what their goal is for the week!
  • There are a total of four book projects (one each quarter) that are expected in this class. 
  • Genius Hour is a student designed and student driven year-long project that will take place in this course. It involves a great deal of research as well as multiple writing assignments, but the topic and product are entirely up to each individual student.
  • If you have any questions or concerns you can always email me at lfontaine@sau53.org 
  • A few important documents:
