About Me

Welcome to another school year at St. Francis of Assisi! I am looking forward to teaching and being a part of your child’s Grade 3/4 school year experiences. I have been teaching for about 20 years, mostly with the Ottawa Catholic School Board. My first teaching assignments ranged from an isolated northern Quebec, a Montessori school, and a school for students having very serious needs. My wife Eve and I have two boys. Olivier is 11 and Emile is 13 years old. My motto is "See the tree in every acorn" because students remind me of how that tiny acorn that may get overlooked has the potential to grow into the mighty oak. If we believe in students and nurture that excitement of learning, there's no telling what mighty oaks they may become!

March 29, 2016

(This week's homework below)


  • I will be confirming ILP topics this week and sending approximate dates home to parents. Students should be planning and gathering resources this week. They may be ready to start rehearsing though. I will show a few more photos and samples of ILPs from previous years.
  • We are also practicing a song-and-dance piece for musical theatre. Please have your child learn the lines. I wull try to post a short video of the practice (cross my un-techy fingers!)
  • Don't forget to record your Home Reading - remember that just 105 minutes a week earns your child XP in our Classcraft live video game!
