A reminder to students and parents to visit sites such as Languages Online (only the worksheets and posters can be accessed), Duolingo, to review and practise their Italian at home.  These sites have many interactive games, songs and worksheets that you can complete with your child.  We will be using these resources in the classroom so your child will be familiar with them. They are both free!
