I have talked about how I changed schools last year but my new school was still a duel track school with both the English and French Immersion stream.  My new next door neighbour was one of the Grade 1 French Immersion teachers and I helped her start to use the Mimio in her classroom.  She loved the math calendar I created for the mimio and asked me if I could do one for her class but in French.  I did  and she helped me with some of the phrases I needed such as "Yesterday was", "Today is", etc.  So I just finished making my mimio math calendars for next year and have put those in my TPT store, I have now finished the French version of the math calendars.   You can find the French Monthly Math Calendar for Mimio (Canadian) in my TPT store at the following link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FRENCH-Monthly-Math-Calendar-for-Mimio-Canadian-1982341 Enjoy!
