Speaking in French.

I'm disappointed at how little French is being spoken by my students. In French Immersion, the expectation is that all students speak French at all times during the instructional day. If students do not use their French, they will not develop confidence, fluency, or vocabulary in their speech.

Yesterday, Madame Demeter spoke to me about her frustration with the students too. Please, please speak to your child about the importance of speaking French as often as possible. If they fall behind, it will become incredibly challenging to catch up.

Having said all that, my congratulations go to several students who always make a valiant effort to use their French - these students include Edna, Julianna, Arshad, Adalia, Emily, and Heysome. Bravo!
