This blogsite will have lesson plans and links to assignments. I will try to ensure that all assignments are made available on the Internet in this way. If something is underlined on the blog, it means you can click on it to see a copy of the item - this could be a pdf document, powerpoint, music or a video. Use this blog to see what is coming up each week. If you are away, you can check up on what you are missing.
If you have any questions or would like some help with the material or the homework, you can contact me anytime by e-mail at: emilycarlson@telus.net. I will be at the school (usually somewhere in the Social Studies wing) everyday before and after school but my official tutorial times will be in Mr. Benoy's room Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:55-3:15 pm.

About Me
- Mrs. Roch
- I am a teacher-on-call with the North Vancouver School District. I worked as a student teacher last year at Sutherland and have since been subbing all over North Vancouver. I'm really enjoying it and cannot wait to get a permanent position. I graduated from Simon Fraser University with a major in History but I also took a variety of other courses including Spanish. My interests are travelling, learning other languages and cultures, and sports. My favourite travel spots so far are Italy and New York City. I play soccer for a Div 1 team in Burnaby and I will be coaching the Junior Girls Soccer team at Sutherland! I also love to snowboard, surf, and play tennis and squash.
