It has been great to welcome two volunteers into our classroom lately. Two young ladies, previous students of mine from about 7 or 8 years ago, have asked if they can come and spend one day a week volunteering in our classroom.
Kelly comes on Mondays and has been coming for a few weeks now. Caitlyn will be coming on Wednesdays starting this week. It is a very rare thing to have French-speaking volunteers in a French Immersion grade 7 and 8 classroom, so this extra support is a real treat for all of us. Having another person in the classroom who is familiar with my classroom routines and my teaching style, who speaks French and who has good insight into how young people learn is such a source of encouragement for us! We are very very grateful. Kelly and Caitlyn will mostly be helping students one-on-one and in small groups. Several students have already benefited from their help.Mille mercis à Kelly et à Caitlyn!
