3D Shapes Showdown Addition! AND Dual Language Book Review

Happy Spring all!! - and happy Spring BREAK to those who are still in that happy time of the year;)

So I had a customer request to add the vocabulary term apex and base to my 3D Shape Showdown.  I finally got around to fixing it up.  Now it is added to the package.  To all you who have bought it, printed, cut and laminated it already I have added an additional page at the back for you to print and laminate without having to reprint everything all over.  I am SO grateful to all of my previous customers!!!  Click on the picture to go to my TpT store for redownload!

As some of you may know, I am a bit of a language buff - I LOVE teaching my little muffins French!  I was thrilled when I was approached by Tim Johnson A.K.A. The Language Bear to review one of his Dual Language books.  I chose French and English being that I am in Canada, but there are many options including Spanish, Italian, etc.  A digital teacher's guide is included.  

Each page has the words in English and French.  Tim sent me the PDF version so I popped it up on the SmartBoard and read it to the class.  The pictures were amazing (the kids commented on these specifically) and the story was so cute and fun.  My class had a great time connecting the French words with the English words.  Certain vocabulary is highlighted so it was easy to make the connections!

This product is of high quality!  The kids loved it and I found that it was wonderful way of introducing French literature into the classroom!!  Be sure to check it out!!!  Happy last few days of Spring Break!!  I will be going out tonight for a little salsa masquerade party!  Super excited!!

La météo en français! Voilà!!

Well - report card season and Christmas concert season is almost among - ahem - upon us - if it hasn't already started for some of you!  For all you Canadian French teachers out there, with the help of my lovely multi-talented and multilingual aunt - thanks Aunt Tricia!!! - I have created a little weather unit to help teach all of the weather vocabulaire!!!

One of my favourite things to teach is French - it always amazes me how fast some of them pick it up!!  I am teaching Grade 2 this year so it will be fun to see if they remember anything from last year when I taught them in Grade 1!  And once again the exclamation marks are getting away from me...lol.

This little packet will easily fit into any morning routine.  With a little practice and a lot of fun you will have vos éléves á parler français, devant vos yeux (before your eyes)!!
