Title: Le Gaspillage Alimentaire: A Mini-Unit for Intermediate Low French Students
Body:
French teacher Lisa Shepard writes, “One of the first units that I shared on this blog was a series of lessons on food waste. When I found myself with a couple of available weeks with my French 3 students right before Thanksgiving this year, this topic seemed like a great fit. Not only would we all be enjoying copious dinners, but the subject of food waste seems has begun to be addressed on American media.” Access the unit agenda and explanations of each lesson at http://madameshepard.com/?p=1287

Title: Article: Shortage of Bilingual Teachers
Body:
Help wanted: Bilingual teachers for California schools
By AMY TAXIN
December 31, 2016
While Californians passed a ballot measure to bring back bilingual education in the upcoming school year, educators say a challenge to getting the programs started will be finding more bilingual teachers.
…Educators say growing interest in bilingual programs will boost already high demand for teachers trained and credentialed to teach the classes. Schools that already have such programs in California - and in other states, including Utah and Oregon - have brought teachers on visas from overseas to meet the need.
"There is already a shortage for bilingual teachers with just the demand we have right now," said Joshua Speaks, a spokesman for the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Meredith White writes, “I’m currently on a block schedule, so tomorrow (January 5) is much like the first day of school.
