Hi, I'm Mme Andrea!
About Me
If you're looking to make magic happen in your French primary classroom, I can help!
My name is Andrea, and I give French kindergarten teachers tools to make magic happen in their classrooms, via quality resources and step-by-step suggestions that WORK!
I have been teaching Kindergarten at a francophone school in rural Nova Scotia for the past ten years.
But don’t be fooled: even though I’m technically at a francophone school, I am in a minority community, and French is a second language for the majority of my students (immersion teachers, I get you!).
I started selling resources on Teachers Pay Teachers in December 2014 after being so frustrated by only finding quality resources online in English.
After pretty much buying out my local Staples’ supply of White-Out, I decided to learn how to make my own great stuff from scratch rather than messily translating everything I could find… and I am SO glad that I did!
I love a challenge, and TPT has become one of my favourite creative outlets. I love the whole process of creating that perfect resource; from figuring out exactly what my students need in order to learn a certain skill or concept, down to choosing the ideal images and fonts.
Creating and selling resources to teachers also makes me feel like I am helping make other people’s lives easier, which is right up my alley!
In my shop, you will find resources on literacy/guided reading, math & math journals, and LOTS of games and literacy centres (after all, engagement is the name of the game!).
On my blog, you will read about my real classroom with my real students and what our days really look like.
I will share what I have learned after lots of trial and (LOTS of) error, and provide you with all kinds of doable, real-classroom suggestions that you can try out with your own students!
If you’re ready to go explore what kinds of great resources I have in my online shop, head on over and check it out!
Oh, and you should also sign up for my newsletter — it will arrive in your inbox every Sunday with the latest news, tips, sales announcements, and even the occasional exclusive freebie!
One more thing: I blog about twice a month, but if you want to see more frequent snippets and stories from my classroom (and everyday life/adventures), head on over to Instagram and give me a follow!
