Update: the Original Immersion Kids (OIK!)

So I just got my class lists for next year.  On the 17th Nov 2010 I posted about how the immersion program was working for 5 of my 8 students.  These same 5 students signed up for my French III honors class.

5 OUT OF 8!

Woohoo!!!!!

Now... grammatically they are way behind....

Vocabulary-wise, they have some catching up to do...

But, THEY ARE HOOKED!

And they want BOOK WORK!  They want to learn GRAMMAR!  They want WORKSHEETS!

Sooooooo, I will have these students in the second half of the year next year.  That means I have some time to prepare them before christmas.  Maybe we will do some after school tutoring in French to get them a bit caught up...

I'm soo looking forward to being able to plan thoughtfully, structure my courses, and do it right, starting with an essential question.  I'm so excited to give them a meaningful experience.  :)  yay Immersion!  thanks Liz.  You're the best.
