French on the Farm: A Lesson for My Cohort

In March, I began prerequisite classes for CSU-Bakersfield's teaching certification program. 

Below is a French lesson that I presented to my fellow single-subject (grades 7-12) teacher candidates! 

PS - I'm certifying in English and French.

We all began the teaching certification program in earnest this September. We have classes from 5-9 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays; sometimes, we have class on Saturday mornings, too!

We spend A LOT of time together now, but we're great buddies!
