The Language B and Humanities Departments seek to provide opportunities for students to enrich appreciation and knowledge of other cultures. This year, we have planned a trip to Montreal, Canada for April 7th-9th, 2011. This trip will be an adventure for 6th, 7th and 8th Grade students. We have scheduled many activities for our students for the appreciation of French, history, including a visit to McGill University, LaserQuest, the Olympic Stadium, the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Holocaust Museum, the underground shopping mall and much more!
The cost of the trip is $450.00 (based on 30 students). This price includes round trip motor coach transportation between Rochester and Montreal, hotel accommodation, night-time security in the hotel, tour leader, admission to all services on our itinerary, 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners. (Lunches are the only expenses not included).
*Students do NOT need a passport, but will need a copy of their birth certificate.
A deposit of $90. is required by October 10th to save your spot.
Another payment of $90 would be due on November 10th
The next payment of $90 would be due on December 8th
The next payment of $90 would be due January 11th.
The final payment of $90 would be due on March 2nd .

Welcome to Wilson! Bienvenue! Bienvenidos
Welcome to a new school year, and for some, a new school! This blog is another opportunity to share important information about your child’s Language B (French/Spanish) class including our curriculum, classroom procedures and expectations.
For 7th Grade students, French 1B and Spanish 1B is an introduction to the language and culture. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading and writing. Learning a second language requires on-going practice, so I recommend that students practice their vocabulary words for 10 minutes daily.
For 8th Grade students in French 1C, we will be practicing listening, speaking, reading and writing to help prepare for the NYS Proficiency Exam in June. To be successful, students should practice their vocabulary words for 10 minutes daily.
**8th Graders must pass the NYS French Proficiency Exam in June to receive credit for 1B and 1C and move to French II
Since lifelong success depends on learning to make responsible choices, I have developed classroom procedures that guide students to make good decisions about behavior. Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible, and I know that together we will make a difference in this process.
Sincerely,
Michael Brundage
