Back to the books!

Hi everyone! I just got back from a great visit to Canada with my family. We spent most of our time in English speaking Ontario, but we did get to spend some time in French speaking Quebec. It was really cute to see my son walk up to "friendly strangers" to practice his French. He wasn't fearful at all. It reminded me about how important it is to just dive right in and practice with anyone who is willing to practice with you.

Since we home school, I get to create my own curriculum and I've decided to do intensive French this school year. I'll post any activities that could help you as well with your children. My children are 7, 5 and 2, so I'll have activities for those ages which could be altered for older (or younger) children as well.

That's so great they are practicing their French! My son only practices when HE feels like it.

That's how my son used to be. Hopefully your son will change too. You never know, kids can surprise you!
