Not sure how to start off your school year? Let me help you! Enjoy lesson plans for each day of the week for all of September. You will get premade lesson plans with everything you need to teach French literacy, Drama, Visual Arts, Science & Social Studies for the entire month with a focus on building classroom community.
Our school board schedule works on a 5 day basis, with a total of 240 minutes of prep time. This schedule would work well for students from Grade 4-6. Please note that as a French Immersion teacher, I teach 2 groups the same subjects (French Literacy, Visual Arts, Drama, Social Studies & Science). So at half day, I switch groups and restart my day.
