Pen pals and virtual classroom exchanges are gold. Students s love them! #iteachWL #Frenchteachers
Penpals are a fantastic way to introduce global education strategies into our world language classroom and, importantly, get our students excited to use language in an authentic way. I'm a huge believer in the process! #EduSky #langchat

On November 13, 1872 #OTD Claude Monet painted "Impression, soleil levant" from his studio window in a single morning.
It depicts the port of Le Havre, France, and gave the Impressionist movement its name.
