De rien! I lowered my prices because I looked at my work and thought, with the tough times, I would want lower prices, so I hope you enjoy the packet - I have at least 5 more of the packets at really good prices - look for sales soon!
And thanks for your support!

November 15, 2012
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your feedback! It made my day! I like these packets because it is easy to give, and I can actually see if they learned anything - and if the sub does not speak French/Spanish, it is so easy to give, for virtually any subject! Have a great day!

Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for the feedback! I like my activities to be easy to use, and for the students to be more independent, using the material to create, rather than the teacher (me!) doing so much of the work! I like to put a lot into the prep, and then have the students enjoy the process! Take a look at my sub plans - also totally easy to hand out, and in English (if the sub does not know the language!)

Love the plans. Kids can actually learn something when I am gone.
September 19, 2012
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your note! That was my plan too when I created them for my subs. I wanted the students to be engaged during my absence, and to have something to report to me when I came back. And all students could do the packet. When I left French/Spanish plans, some students who are on plans were unable to do the worksheets, which immediately created problems! I am now working on a Marie Antoinette packet!

Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your note! I appreciate the feedback! I created them for myself because the students can learn some cultural information, and be on task for as much as the class as possible! I am creating more all the time ( I love the Statue of Liberty one - I used "pages" from my Mac computer - really excellent!)

Thanks so much your feedback! I love to make user friendly activities that are easy and fast for my studentss! My students got really into this fun activity! I am going to make more questions for future games, so if you want to see a particular topic, let me know! Take a look at my other activitiea, also user friendly! Thanks again, and if you want to subscribe to my activities, tht would be great!

This package is a God-send. My elderly dad had an accident a few weeks ago and I had an unplanned absence. I had prepared this package for an emergency, and boy, did it perform!! The activities were engaging and it kept the students busy the whole block.
May 15, 2012
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much! Let me know if you need another plan quickly. I understand your situation totally!
May 15, 2012
Sandy (TpT Seller)
You are quite welcome! I make these because more than a few times the sub comes in, and because I can't get a French sub, they often don't do my prepared lessons! Wasted effort for me, so these are my sub plans now!
March 16, 2012
lindabacher
Used it, worked well with sub.
November 8, 2011
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your feedback! I use these sub plans because I rarely get a sub that is a French teacher! I will be working on more of these kins of plans.

Pages seem too crowded.
October 30, 2011
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Actually, for myself they are not too crowded. Tried and true, and used every day. It is just enough material to motivate the students for those few minutes of communication. I often, though, modify the slides to accommodate classes that have difficulty with communication.

Yesmid Rodriguez (TpT Seller)
I like the activity, I am sure I am going to use it again.
October 21, 2011
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your encouraging note! I use these all the time in class and have "tweeked" the activities so they are efficient and promote the communication! Look for more of these!
Have a great day!

Great product! It's incredibly helpful to have lesson plans for a non-French speaking substitute teacher! The writing style is entertaining and engaging, and the activities were enjoyed by my students very much. Thank you for a terrific product!
January 7, 2011
Sandy (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your feedback! You hit the nail on the head! That is exactly why I started creating these for myself. I had a family emergency recently, and it was as much a nightmare to deal with the sub plans, on top of dealing with personal issues! Top this off with worrying if the sub knew French helped me to create these packets. I have packets for Napoleon Bonaparte, Marcel Marceau, Louis Pasteur, and more, sitting in the pouches under my large table in my class I just finished a packet on Louis Braille. I put these also on the teacherspayteachers site. I am working on more.

frenchymms (TpT Seller) re: STATUE OF LIBERTY PACKET 22 PGS. +OVERVIEW ACTIVITIES (IN ENG)
Ok, I got it, thank you very much for allowing me a free download! I thought they had a system in place that when you revise something, everyone who has already downloaded it can get the update for free. But I think you have to leave it up there, rather than relisting it, as you did. I feel much better now!
November 18, 2012
Sandy (TpT Seller)
I must say that I am eternally grateful for your honest yet gentle feedback. I am mortified, to say the least, and am slowly going through ALL my items. It will take a while, but it is worth it! What do you need? Let me know, and I can even draw for you. Can you get back to me with a question in a couple of weeks, to ask about something else? I so want to thank you with something great for your kindness and help!

frenchymms (TpT Seller) re: sub plan #1 Statue of Liberty (in Eng) for French/culture - 21 pages
I just downloaded your packet and made many copies, only to find LOTS of errors. Lots of spelling and grammatical errors. Would you like me to tell you each page they are on so you can make corrections?

Hi Sandy,
I just responded to your questions about "er" verbs in French and when I clicked on your name I noticed that you are from Massachusetts. I am as well and I am on the board of directors if the Massachusetts Foreign Language Association. I hope that you are a member and will be attending our conference in Sturbridge in October. I will be presenting a workshop that includes many of the "hand on" activities that I have on this site. If you are there, please do introduce yourself. I'd really like to make the connection. My name is Joshua Cabral and I am the chair of exhibits and sponsorships for the organization so you will find me in the exhibit hall most of the time. Hope to see you there! Joshua

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Teacher of foreign language for 30+ years
MY TEACHING STYLE
It is all about the communication. Communication comes first, then reading, more communication, and then grammar. There sips nothing wrong with grammar, and the older geprammar book series (ALM FRENCH/ SPANISH) are actually more concise and clear. But again,developing the communication skills is the key. I have tried a million ways to get students to communicate, but the best way I ha e ever found is to BECOME the French person, throw in a tinsel wig, a black wig, and a red wig, and the students feel freer to converse!
