Bonne année 2018!
Heading in the holiday break, the 4th and 5th grade French students prepared letters for a future Penpal at a Montessori school in France. I took the letters with me when I travelled to France for the holidays.
There are 2 schools with which I have a personal connection and hope to be establishing a long-term Penpal connection with, one is in the South of France, in the Languedoc Roussillon, near the town of Uzès :
The other is in Central/Southwest France in the Limousin region, near the town of Brive-la-Gaillarde, http://www.marelleetcompagnie.com/
The two school’s are located in very different regions of the country, and will help to provide an insight into the differences in climate, geography and culture within the same country!
I am hoping to establish this connection between our school and theirs, so that the children can create a relationship with a French peer, learn more about them, their school, their culture, and where they live.
In the process, we will be working on our French writing skills and vocabulary!
Best,
