Bienvenue à la rentrée !
Allo et bienvenue
à la rentrée !
Hello Archway Arete families, and welcome
back to school for a brand-new year of lessons, games, and growth in the French
language! My name is Rémy Gaudin, and I’ll be entering my second year in the
K-1 French program here at Arete this year. I return to the job this fall with
thirteen years of French experience under my belt, having begun my study in Kindergarten,
and pursuing French through my middle school, high school, and college career. With
my experience in reading, writing, and translating, I am excited to continue to
put our scholars on the path towards speaking two (or more) languages. Many hard
hours went into streamlining and improving our curriculum this summer, and I
feel confident and ready to deliver!
Firstly, I would like to extend an
especial welcome to those families who are new to the network—whether your child
is this year entering Kindergarten or you are joining us in 1st grade, my goal
this year lies in building a strong and consistent community of Francophones,
and I aim to see that all my students share in the necessary skills. And to my
returning families, I’m overjoyed to see you again, and to pick up where we
have left off in our studies!
This blog will be your first
resource for our K-1 French curriculum and study materials, and I invite you to
subscribe and make use of any and all materials on it. In the coming weeks, I
plan to beef up our video review section, and to update and refresh our text
resources. With that, I will also be publishing an updated curriculum list for
Kindergarten and 1st Grade. Please do review those documents, which
will live on the left sidebar, and do not hesitate to email me if you should
have any questions. You can reach me either through rgaudin@archwayarete.org or rgaudinarete@gmail.com, and I will
make my best effort to respond within two business days.
To my new families in 1st
Grade: if you have not yet gotten your hands on the “Les Loustics” workbook and
CD bundle, please do so as soon as possible. I aim to begin the program within our
first few weeks together, and I find that students perform at their best when
they have their own materials. “Les Loustics” may be purchased from Barnes &
Noble, Amazon, and several other online retailers (I have provided three links
below, the first of which offers the best price for the book and CD combo). If for any reason you are unable to provide your child with a copy,
please contact me by email and I will offer what help I can.

Thank you for reading along, and I have
high hopes of making this year a successful and engaging one for all our students!
Merci, et j’espère que vous vous
joindrez à moi pour faire cette année une grande année pour nos élèves !
