I announced it a french week.
We’re reading french books.
We’re watching french channels.
We talk french as much as we can, what is not a lot unfortunately but I believe it will help one little guy.
His name is Joshua. Not Josh. Joshua. At least this is how he likes it.
He’s in grade 2 of french immersion.
School is tough.
And he’s just one little boy.
I volunteered this week at his french class only to find out how hard it is for a second grade boy to study practically all by himself.
He had to pick a book from the shelf, ( one I think suitable for grade 4 or 5 ) and was supposed to read it, meaning: to find the words that he doesn’t understand, write them on a paper and look them up in the dictionary.
French verbs look different in a sentence than in the dictionary. He was lost. I was shocked and sorry for him… Such a big work, for such a small child. He’s my baby, you know…
So I dusted off my french waaaay back from high school years, made a trip to a library, borrowed some books, ordered a cable… Yeah, I didn’t have a cable for quite a few years. I am not very fond of watching tv… I ordered few extra french channels…
Now I have to get a good dictionary. That’s just one last thing on the list.

I know it’s hard for him but… I know it’s good for him also.
And the funniest thing is, now I have to learn with him. But there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.
Isn’t he lucky to have such a great mom like me?

In the meantime, I am SO enjoying summer like weather in Toronto…!

Have a great day everyone! I hope your March break is being as wonderful as mine!
