=Bonjour! = = = =My name is Danielle Berndt and I have been studying French language and culture for ten years. I just completed my student teaching at Southern Regional High School, in Manahawkin, with Beverly Skodi, a veteran teacher of 17 years. I taught students in grades nine through twelve, in the classes of French II, French III, and French IV Honors. Throughout my certification process, I have also worked with students in French I, V, and VI. I have spent time in both France and Canada and will be returning to France this summer, where I hope to obtain new materials and ideas for introducing the French culture into my classroom. = = = = = =I will be studying in Biarritz, France, during the month of July, where I will take advanced French language courses, participate in a homestay, and explore the city, which is one of Europe's most popular surfing areas. = = = = = =Aside from teaching French, my favorite activities are surfing, snowboarding, and travelling, all of which I look forward to sharing with my students. =
