First Few Days Have Been Great!
I hope I’m not just on a beginner’s high, but my first few days have been great! I started off the first day with a story (I didn’t even learn their names!) and had total comprehension by most of the kids by the end of the block (I had them retell the story in English). It was amazing! The second day I went over some of the housekeeping stuff, we picked nicknames, and played some fun name games in French. Today we finished up housekeeping and played some more games (I REALLY want to know their names!). All I’m hearing from the other teachers is “So-and-so told me he LOVES French!” and “I hear the French class is going really well” and other praises like that. So the kids are liking it already! This is just beyond my wildest dreams. I’m so grateful for the group and all the help and support you have been. I know I will have questions as we dive into the year, but I know I have this group to turn to. When I came to this school last year there were 9 students in F! rench class. Now I have 45! I’ve had to fight for my program, but now that TPRS is here i think my kids will do the fighting for me! My principals have stopped in a few times already (I invited them - I wanted to be proactive) and they really liked what they saw. I just can’t stop smiling. Hooray!
Love,
