Au revoir Coline!

This is Coline! She is from Lille, France and we were lucky to have her helping at Les Petites Pommes for the month of July. While she helped the children learn French, they helped her improve her english! We appreciate all her hard work and we will miss her :) While we say goodbye to Coline we would also like to welcome our new helper who is also from France, Victoire!

Have a safe trip home Coline we will miss you!

Spring Fling était très amusant!

Spring Fling était très amusant ! J’ai aidé les enfants fabriquer des cartes pour leurs professeurs et après ils ont écouté des contes Québécois . Pendant la nuit, j’ai compté plus de 100 personnes dans le gymnase !

Voici une photo de moi en train de faire des cartes avec mes petits amis !

Canadian Parents for French

I will be attending this event and running some pre-story time crafts! I missed Marylyn Peringer last time she was in town, but some of my students I tutor saw her and said they really enjoyed the stories! I am pretty excited for this event!

Forms should be ready within the next couple of days

I apologize for the delay on the forms everyone! The bad news: I was attempting to rent a school within the public school board this summer and after many months of back and forth, a reasonable rental rate could not be negotiated. The good news: the folks at Southern Ontario College are very supportive of Les Petites Pommes and now that I am working with them again, I should be able to firm up the camp dates within  in the next couple of days! :) I appreciate everyones patience!
