Our featured App of the week

Since you all have smartphones, ipads, kindles and the like, I thought I'd share with you some cool apps for learning French & Spanish!

The first one is "Babbel French" and "Babbel Spanish" and they are FREE!!! It is available for both ios and android :).  Take some time and go thru the food and drink category, you already know most of it! Here's a screenshot just in case :)

Don't have a smartphone... you can also visit the website at: http://www.babbel.com/learn-french-online

Have fun!

Bienvenu a PVHS!

Bonjour mes petits and  hola mis estudiantes! Welcome back to the spring semester!    Please plan to get to school by 7:10 on Monday the 7th as you'll need to pick up your schedule and the traffic is ALWAYS crazier than rush hour in Paris!

If you doing some early school shopping, the only thing you'll need for French/Spanish class is a spiral bound notebook :)

Enjoy this last week of winter break and I'll see you on Monday!
