My Project

My students are so special because they are working towards a common goal of becoming either bilingual or even trilingual. I work in a school that has a flourishing dual language program, so approximately 75% of my French class is composed of native Spanish speakers. They are now putting in the time to learn a third language, which is inspiring to me. The specific items I am requesting will make a difference to their learning because I am hoping to build their reading and speaking skills in French throughout the remainder of this school year and in future years. I would like to have my students focus on one short story per week, and the books I am requesting will be accessible yet challenging enough for them. I am in need of materials to further spark their interest in French (small games, coloring, techology), which is why I have also included iPad chargers and a few other related items on my list. My French classroom is in need of a refresh as far as new French decoration that is updated, clear, and easy for students to reference quickly. Finally, I always aim to include many lessons about Francophone countries in my instruction, so I like to have flags and texts about various French-speaking people included in my curriculum. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
