Reading the teacher manual for French classes this upcoming week. ⚜️📖☕️

I usually try to get all my homeschool prep for the week done on Friday afternoons. But sometimes with babies, you just have to grab any and every free moment.

I might have to supplement a lot, but I’m really starting to like our French curriculum this year:

On Fridays, instead of the usual bookwork, we’ll try projects around French history and art. Or include special treats instead of the usual snacks during school. 🥖🧀

If you want to mix up your French class routine, here are some things we’ve enjoyed…

⚜️ cooking class ~ make an easy French recipe together and give directions in French

⚜️ art project ~ draw or colour a famous French landmark or person in history while listening about them

⚜️ watch a video ~ find a short video on YouTube, like EasyFrench, and listen for specific vocabulary words or expressions

⚜️ dress up party ~ my kids love dressing up! Let them choose a famous character from French history to learn about and dress up as.

For more ideas, I have a popular blog post called 20 French Club Activities for Your Homeschool. Check out the link in bio.

👩🏻‍🏫 As a former classroom teacher and private tutor, I’ve received my fair share of teacher appreciation gifts over the years.

💌 Some were better than others, but I can genuinely say that the hand-written notes were my favourites.

As the semester winds down, if you’re thinking of how to show appreciation to your favourite teachers, here are some ideas of what to get. And some ideas of what not to get… ☕️

Of course, these are just my opinions based on my experience. What is the best teacher appreciation gift you’ve ever received? Or given?

This week’s blog post was a review of @abekahomeschool English curriculum for 2nd grade. We used…

📖 Grammar
Lots of repetition to ensure mastery. 🔄

📖 Spelling
Just the right level of challenge. 🏆

📖 Cursive Writing
Traditional cursive alphabet! NOT the new American cursive. 🙌🏻

In short: Designed clearly enough for my young second grader to do (mostly) independently. Fun and engaging, kid-friendly aesthetic without looking cheesy.

Definitely continuing the series for 3rd grade.
