My Project

I am hoping to expand my small library with age and level-appropriate materials, provide comfortable alternative seating for different activities, and supply headphones for all students for our listening activities. Using stickers as praisers/rewards, something so simple, creates such excitement and they want to get back assessments to see if they got a sticker!

My energetic young learners inspire me to share my passion of French, for learning and for sharing my knowledge while learning from them.

Reading, speaking, listening and writing are all skills needed, reinforced, encouraged and taught in my classroom.

Writing “games” with re-usable (not consumable) supplies is essential in this electronic, tech world. I strive to keep their faces out of computer screens and encourage interaction. They beg to play “white board” game and write on there boards and hold up their answers! The re-usable plastic sheaths help with word mats, games and protecting visuals.
