Welcome to Ms. Fournier's Grade 3 class! I am super excited to be learning and teaching along-side your student this year. My name is Jennifer Fournier. Now, a little bit about me. I have two fantastic children and quite a few fur babies. My son, Corbin, is going into grade 11 this year and my daughter Felicity, is starting grade 9.
