Bienvenue à la classe de français Madame Wiatr

About me! I have been teaching French for the past 20 years and I lived in France for 5 years. I live in Seattle with my husband and two boys. We are deeply entrenched in the French culture and visit my in-laws in France about once a year. I love teaching and I love interacting with teenagers. They make me smile everyday. I like yoga and skiing!

French 1 expectations Have fun and build a desire to continue in the language Improve oral comprehension Begin basic oral production and start forming creative utterances Expansion of vocabulary and verb base Basic writing (anything they can put on paper is encouraged Tackle readings, start to get them used to reading in a foreign language

Extra Help I know that languages are hard for some kids. I will do my best to accompany your child if they find this challenging. I am available after school, your child just needs to see me to make an appt. There is French tutoring in Room 307 on Tuesdays afterschool.
