Excellent! Thank you Lucy for searching up all the free French teacher resources on Pinterest. This has saved me hours of work! Now I feel ready for “La rentree”! In particular, I love the material that you produce for French Immersion teachers. I have purchased numerous resources from your TPT store, and highly recommend you to my friends and colleagues. Merci!
