Happy Summer!

Le français:

Mme Jana kincaid_j@4j.lane.edu Français, Sciences

What an amazing year. Your students have come a long way in French, from being hesitant and concerned whether they could do it, to speaking naturally and regularly in class. Students still speak French with me in the hallways and at carpool.

Over the summer, please remember to check the blog categories, specifically Français, sciences, géographie, Tap’Touche and use some of the resources to upkeep French. Keeping French up over the summer is important for all students, but particularly those students whose French could use a boost. If your child needs to work on his/her/their French, I have definitely already communicated with you and/or reinforced it in the report cards.

If you have not yet arranged summer French or math tutoring for your child, here is a flyer for Mme Grabowski, who was our 5th grade French teacher for over 20 years, and who tutors from Virginia via Zoom. She is an excellent teacher. I know that Mme Quena is also tutoring, as well as Mme Alexia, one of our first grade teachers. If you need more information, please contact me at kincaid_j@4j.lane.edu

Host Families needed for next year’s interns!

Calling on Host Families for 2024-2025!

Bonjour Charlemagne families,

We are getting ready to host more interns next year…

Our Amity interns are a huge part of our school. Thanks to them, teachers in grades 2-5 can differentiate their instruction and students can experience more French speaking. We could not do this program without host families who agree to host them for 2-3 months.

The requirements to host are:

–       Transport the intern to and from school,

–       Offer her/his own room,

–       Offer 3 meals a day

The host families don’t have to be part of our Charlemagne community.

So, tell friends, neighbors, family members!

If you have an interest in hosting, please reach out to our host family coordinator, Rachel Buciarski (Maya’s mom) at rachel@buciarski.com.

Merci beaucoup!  Aurelie Sion (she/her), 2ème année
