Thanks. I just feel like I am grasping at straws a little bit, and
I don't know if I am doing as good a job as I should be. I feel
like maybe I may be missing what I should really be doing with
them or something. But I figure if I go through the 100 most
common words...well, it will be a good basis, right? Any ideas are
helpful at this point! But yes, the good news is that next year
will be a lot easier. At the very least, I will know where the
kids are from the very beginning of the school year and not spend
a month figuring that out! I can't wait until my French I's are in
French III or French IV!
