WAFLT 2015: Best in State
WAFLT 2015: Best in State
In 2015, four members of our world language department, Katy Wolner, Rachel Arendt, Michele Bergeron (Nuttelman) and Brianna Reese (Hemauer), presented Comprehensible Input: Maximizing Target Language in Levels 1 and 2 at WAFLT. Just the year before, our department had begun writing our own curriculum that focused on comprehensible input. We were excited to teach other world language teachers and schools about CI and how to stay in the target language, make texts comprehensible, and develop greater language acquisition for novice learners. After WAFLT 2015, we received the news that we won Best of Wisconsin at WAFLT.

St. Nick Surprise
St. Nick Surprise
In December of 2020, Brianna Reese, the French Teacher at Chippewa Falls Middle School, wanted her 8th graders to be able to learn about and celebrate Saint Nicolas, which is a French holiday that takes place on December 6th. Due to Covid, the Chippewa Falls School District decided to go back to 100% virtual learning in November and not resume in-person classes until February 1st, 2021. On Friday, December 4th, Brianna taught a virtual culture lesson about Saint Nicolas to her 8th graders. As a surprise, Brianna also contacted her student's families and asked them to put their 8th grader's shoes outside of their house on December 6th. Brianna dressed up in a Santa costume and drove around to 60 of her 8th grader's houses to fill their shoes with a bag full of treats including custom Saint Nicolas cookies that she hired a local bakery to make. Her 8th graders still got to participate in celebrating the holiday like they would have if they would have been in school.
