About The Teacher
This is my 13th year teaching French at Sarah Smith and I have enjoyed every minute. I love teaching French at the elementary level. The children are so enthusiastic and we have a great time in French class! I graduated from the Ohio State University with a BA in French and a Master's in foreign language Education. GO BUCKS! Stop by and say "bonjour" anytime. :)

Mission
The students at Sarah Smith receive French every day for 30 minutes. We have a communicative program that is based completely in the target language. So from the minute the students walk into my room to the minute they leave, they only hear and speak French. Because the students are immersed in the language every day for a half an hour, they truly have an amazing comprehension level of the language and develop productive language skills more naturally. Atlanta Public Schools is one of the few systems that has an articulated 1-12 foreign language program. That means that students who begin a language in kindergarten or first grade and continue a long sequence through high school actually have a chance to become fluent in a foreign language. What an incredible opportunity!
