Les marionnettes

Les enfants s’amusent beaucoup avec ces marionnettes. Je m’en sers aussi pour expérimenter dans le cadre d’un projet d’enseignement de l’anglais.

First Exam

Making a Lap-Book

A “lap book” is a good way to review lessons and to keep an interesting record of them. Students love doing it. In a limited amount of space, a A4 paper, we can store a lot of information which is great!
