If I can remember one of the most painful parts of French class for myself in elementary school, it was definitely learning about verbs! My French teacher would post a big chart on the wall and have us read the same verb over and over...and over! Although it was great for memorization, I honestly at the time could never really visualize what those verbs meant. Why they sounded different when they were conjugated. How it's just like conjugating verbs in English.
That is why I began making these mini books for my kids a while back - and am now sharing them with you! Although memorizing the conjugations and endings of verbs is a very important part of writing in French, it's important for our learners to have a solid understanding of what that verb actually means and looks like.
Visualizing Verbs
- Flashcards showing the verb in the present tense (other tenses will eventually be released)
- A picture book showing the verb in sentences in the present tense (comes in both black and white and colour)
- Writing pages for all ages to use the verb in writing
- Conjugation practice pages that include using the verb in any tense in a sentence

Teaching kids about French verbs doesn't have to be boring! My French Verb units are all about making it simple and fun for both teacher and student. Best of all, they're completely free!
So far in this series of the present tense of French verbs, we have Avoir, Etre, Voir, and now we have Aller! Starting with irregular verbs can make teaching a bit simpler later on in your student's French journeys, so that is why these books begin with these verbs.
Introducing verbs in the present tense is a great way to start too - but don't fret if you have older learners! These units include things for them too!
- French verb cards in the present tense for flashcards or to use as a display
- A French Verb book students can read using the present tense of the verb in sentences
- Writing pages for all ages
- Conjugation pages for present tense and all tenses
I will then introduce how the verb is conjugated in the present using the cards and then reading the book together. The writing exercises or conjugation sheets can be used afterward or on another day after you've practiced the verb a little bit.

Unit 1 and Unit 2 of this program have already been released! You can read about them and try out a free sample here!
Unit 3 is here - that's weeks 5 and 6! During these weeks, students will discover the proper use of 'tu' and 'vous' (in French these can both mean 'you', but there's an important distinction between them), learn some new sight words and already start to learn their very first verb - être.
Take a look below to see what is included, and how they'll build on what they have already learned.
What Will My Kids Learn?
- Use of 'tu' and 'vous'
- First part of the verb être
- More sight words
- Writing more than one sentence about a specific topic/prompt
- Review of previously learned concepts including masculine/feminine nouns, sentence order, and writing phrases
What is included? Everything you'll need!
- Posters and student-sized posters showing the rule of the unit
- A suggested pacing plan
- A scripted lesson plan explaining the rule and concepts
- Student booklets showing the dictation phrases with illustrations
- 2 weeks of worksheets in which students will practice the concepts taught and daily writing
- Weekly quizzes

What if I don't know how to pronounce a word?

Free Math Unit on Capacity - A Hands-On Math Unit
Free Math Unit on Capacity
A Hands-On Math Unit
Want more free math units? Check out my free math page!
Hands up if you are teaching a kiddo at home or in a classroom who doesn't do well with traditional math lessons! (I'm raising my own hand here!) While some kids do great with classic flat models and visuals in workbooks, other kids have trouble conceptualizing these things in real-life situations. Let's be honest too - most of the math we learned about measurement came from real-life experiences - house renovations, filling a pool, baking, etc. Even if you do have a child who learns well through workbooks, hands-on math lessons can be a great way to help them bring their math skills into the real world.
In this unit, kids will go beyond writing on a page with a hands-on lesson that teaches them about metric unit capacity. They'll measure, pour, search for items around the house or class, and do some thinking with the included questions. I made this unit with my own daughter in mind, and hope that it can help your kids or students too!

Fraction Match! With Google Slides
In the first 10 slides, students will match fractions to the correct models. There are 5 on each page, so it's a quick way to get in extra practice without overwhelming your young learners.
The next 10 slides include words that kids will match to the fraction models. This is great for kids who struggle with problem-solving and will help them visualize the parts of fractions in problems.
There are plenty of different shapes for students to see too, which helps them broaden their perception of what a fractional part is, beyond just the regular circles and rectangles.
You can snag this set of slides in one of my shops using the options below. The entire set costs just $2! It's a great resource that can be used over and over again throughout the years and is easy to send out to students and assign.
