The Rainbow District School Board recently unveiled La boîte à outils French Immersion/Core French toolkit and website to support students and parents.
The booklet features 12 colour-coded sections, including everyday language, such as greetings, seasons, months, days of the week, high frequency words, dates, numbers and useful classroom vocabulary.
The interactive website is an online version of the booklet featuring the pronunciation of more than 300 words and expressions, recorded at the Lions Community Heritage Sound Studio at Confederation Secondary School.
The website can be accessed through www.rainbowschools.ca. Rainbow Schools that offer French immersion, will have information soirées Feb. 4, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. At the soirées, people can participate in a hands-on workshop to try the new learning tools.
For more information, phone the Rainbow District School Board at 674-3171.
