Good morning to all. I hope you're all well and in good shape. You've probably heard that school will start back next week for the primary, but as for the secondary, it will start again in September only. The minister of education has announced that until the end of the term, May 15 for us, the students must do additional work and exercises, and starting as today, teachers may provide material on new elements of the curriculum. So, you will find for the next few days, different exercises and links to help you prepare yourselves better for September, either for the CEGEP or to do the sec. 5 English course again. Regarding the inscription for Le Goéland for the Auguste 2020 session, here's a link to follow to register. I invite each of you to fill it and send it back to school, since I cannot, at this moment, tell you if you've passed your course or not. In conclusion, fill the form, do the exercises, and keep in touch with me through this site or my Email adress. Take care of yourself.
