Mrs. Belanger’s
Philosophy of Learning
The learning environment must be comfortable, set up for success and reinforced positively in order for students to increase self-esteem and self-motivation. All students can be successful in understanding basic concepts when exposed to a variety of learning modes. Hands-on activities, cooperative learning groups and meaningful content pertaining to real-life experiences assist in helping students achieve goals both in school, as well as in society. These varied experiences aid in the development of critical thinkers both independently and within a group.

Homework Homework Policy- Your child will have homework Monday
through Thursday. It should not take your child more than 45 minutes to
complete. Sometimes “projects” will take extra time, but we always
give the students work time to begin working on their projects and assignments.
Our purpose for nightly homework is to teach responsibility by EXPECTING it to be completed and RETURNED THE NEXT DAY.
Homework that is not returned and completed will be marked down ten percentage points each day that it is late.
