Wonderful Weather

In the 7th Age we have been busily working on making a French book called Mon Livre de Temps (My Weather Book.) Students have learned how to read all of the weather expressions in their books and are now working on learning to recite a French poem which will be on the last page. Be on the look out for this special French book . . . coming to a home near you in May.
