At The Beginning: Developing Vocabulary

A lot of my blog has so far focused on school age children because as a teacher they are the age I have spent most of my life working with...until I had kids myself. A couple of days ago a parent of a former student was talking to me about how disappointed she was with her daughter's speech development.

Bonjour! French Resources (including a freebie!)

The month of October is going to have some special guests on this blog. I have had a lot of emails about where to find resources for different languages so I have asked a few fellow teacher-authors to come on over and share some.

Each teacher-author will feature one free and one paid resource that they have available. You can visit the resources by clicking on the resource thumbnail which will take you over to TPT.

My first guest is Mrs Hartig of Mrs Hartig's Classroom. She is a fellow Australian teacher-author who is from Western Australia. Mrs Hartig has kindly lent us some time to share with you about her French resources that she has available (but check out her store if you are also looking for resources in Italian, German, Spanish or Indonesian).
