Welcome to my website!  Because I can't type in Japanese on this site, my main goal is to have a website that supports student learning by guiding them to useful language learning sites.  There is not a textbook for Japanese, so students will need to have a one-inch, three-ring binder to organize their handouts. 

My schedule fall trimester 2016:

1st Period   (7:50 - 8:34)     Japanese 1 (at the Middle School)

2nd Period  (8:38 - 9:18)     Planning

3rd Period   (9:55 - 10:58)  Japanese 2A

Lunch         (10:58 - 11:28)

4th Period   (11:36 - 12:33)  Japanese 3A, 4A, and 5A

5th Period   (12:41 - 1:38)    English 10A

6th Period   (1:46 - 2:50)   English 10A

Do you need to retake a quiz or test or do you need some help?  For either Middle School or High School students, please let me know in advance if you would like to get help. For students at the Middle School, I'm available before school from 7:15-7:45. I'm available after school at the high school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until 3:30.  Please let me know in advance if you plan to stay after. 

There is also information on this site about the Michigan Japanese Quiz Bowl Competition, study abroad opportunities and more!  Please let me know if you have any questions or have found a useful site I should share with others.  I can be reached at tpollard@lakeviewspartans.org or at my voice mail 269-565-3854.
