Most of the kids don't really know what they want to be when they grow up. Some do know but change every day, don't they?  I love to listen to what they have to say about their dream job - which is a great way to get to know them and at the same time help them to express themselves in French. JOBS / LES METIERS is the theme of our Bilingual Zoom class today, and also the theme of their 3rd letter to the French pen pals.

I love the answer:  "I want to be a super hero".  Why not? :) This week, during our Bilingual Zoom Class, I taught my students how to talk and write about jobs in French: What is your dream job?  Quel est le métier de tes rêves ? My dream job is… Le métier de mes rêves est... Or  What do you want to be when you grow up? Qu’est-ce qu
