Re: Any Extended French (50/50) teachers out there? Advice?
Posted by Sandra on 8/22/08
thanks, Nat..
In Toronto we call our half day program Extended French...our
kids start in grade 5, and they have all been taking "core"
french since Grade 1, so they have some French coming in, but
it's obviously a whole differnt ballgame for them...
What subjects do you teach in French? an what grades are you
teaching?
