Bonjour! My name is Mme Elson, and I am your child's teacher this year. This is my eight year of teaching at Shannon Park School, and my sixth year teaching grade two! We have 18 students in our classroom this year.
I love speaking French! I was born
in Montreal, Quebec. I went to elementary school in Saint Lambert. The
birthplace of French Immersion.
I have had the opportunity to study French in many different regions. I spent
one year in Aix-en-Provence, France, and also spent a summer in St.
Pierre-Miquelon. I would encourage you to give your child every opportunity to
spend time in a French- speaking community. My dream now is to spend a couple of
weeks in the south of France with my family.
My philosophy towards teaching is constantly evolving and improving. I believe in growing and learning. I am always looking for ideas and inspiration. I am inspired daily by my colleagues and students at school. Most recently I was inspired by the story of Ron Clark, a teacher who received the Walt Disney Teacher of the Year Award in 2001. He was passionate about his students and teaching.
I love my job, my students and my colleagues. All of these people together make Shannon Park one of the Best Schools in the district.
I look forward to coming to school each day, and teaching your child. I hope that I am encouraging them to be and do their best each day.
Mme Elson
