And That’s….the Truth

This year our school district is trying something new. They have decided to change the French program in our schools. From now on the children will not take any French classes at all until grade 5. Then in grade 5 they will take a half of year of straight English classes and the other half will be of all French classes.

Well January 30 marks the end of my daughter’s English block and the start of her French block. I’m pretty sure she will do ok with this as she does get really good marks. But it will be different. And of course this means more work for me. Because she is taking different classes during her final half of grade 5, she is going to need new books and materials. So I will have to dig out my rubber stamp and label all her stuff again. Oh well, I guess this is a good thing. And I hope she gets a lot out of her French block.
