ENSEIGNONS ENSEMBLE AVEC MME ANDREA
Enseignons ensemble is only open for enrollment for the next few days, and only to this year's Summer Prep Party participants and to waitlisters. Since I know that you've been interested in joining, I want to give you the opportunity to hop in with current members. This means that if you want to join before the current school year starts, you've got to join NOW -- we will be closing the doors on Tuesday, August 23 at midnight!
A place for maternelle and première année teachers from all over the country to get the resources, support, and community they need
Lately, I have found that teachers need MORE than just downloaded resources from TpT -- they need real-time tips, tricks, suggestions, support, and community…from real teachers who have tested the waters.
Now you can have an abundance of teaching resources en français… and ALL the support you need!
Transform your teaching from overwhelming to engaging, without spending hours creating resources, searching for motivation, or feeling like you don’t even know where to begin.
In Enseignons ensemble avec Mme Andrea (an affordable monthly membership created for French primary teachers), the hard work is all done for you.
I’ll provide the resources, the answers to your questions, and video trainings to help you become the best teacher you can be -- without the overwhelm and burnout that normally goes along with it.
Plus, you’ll have access to a community of teachers just like you!
Here's what you get...
MEMBERSHIP PERKS
These are the benefits you will receive as a member:
RESOURCES
60 credits/month (or 720/year, if you go annual) to redeem on resources of your choice in the shop
A monthly virtual "bonus box" of extra goodies (20$ value each month)!
Your first TeachAlong™ (Enseignons l'alphabet ensemble) and ALL the resources that are part of that FREE as part of your membership! (116$ value)
COMMUNITY
SUPPORT
RESOURCES, RESOURCES, AND MORE RESOURCES!
When I previously surveyed hundreds of French teachers, lack of resources was the number one struggle they were having. So, my membership has a big focus on making sure teachers have the resources they need in their hands!
There are two ways we accomplish this:
A COMMUNITY OF TEACHERS JUST LIKE YOU
When you join us, you'll have access to a private Facebook community of teachers just like you: French primary teachers from all over the country (and even some from across the world!), who are using the same resources from the membership that you are. This means that you will be able to ask questions and receive support from tons of other teachers, as well as from me. Teachers need community and collaboration...so let's build it together!
SUPPORT FROM ME
I'm here for you!
One thing that has bugged me about TPT for awhile is the lack of contact between us: You download a resource or try an idea, but there isn't really a way for us to sit down together and brainstorm how you can really make my ideas and resources work for you in your classroom, with your students.
What I want most is for you to feel supported and for your students to learn as much as possible. I've spent years trialling-and-erroring my way through maternelle and première année, and I want to share what I have learned with you.
That's why, when you join the membership, you'll be able to submit your questions to me directly...and I'll answer them! I'll be doing Facebook Live Q&A sessions throughout each TeachAlong™ (your first one is included as part of your membership; you can choose to redeem credits on subsequent TeachAlongs™, if you so desire), where I will answer your questions in real time. (If you don't have Facebook, don't worry -- I go live on Zoom at the same time, and I'll always add the videos to YouTube after.)
And, I know first-hand what it's like to dread cutting and laminating new resources and how hard it can be to find time to prep what you need (not to mention watch training videos!). That's why, for each TeachAlong™, I'll be putting on a special, fun challenge within the membership. Complete the challenge, and you will have tons of new resources ready to go AND the chance to win some awesome prizes!
Let me help make your teaching life easier!
BONJOUR! I'M MME ANDREA
I'm the founder of Enseignons ensemble, and I help make French primary teachers' lives easier by providing an abundance of resources, support, and community.
I'm here to help you...
✔️ Spend more time enjoying teaching your students, instead of planning and prepping everything from scratch, reinventing the wheel, and feeling burnt out week after week.
✔️ Have more free time and reignite your passion and energy for your work.
✔️ Feel confident knowing exactly how to engage your class with all the resources you need that are en français, relevant to your grade level, engaging, and fun.
✔️ Feel supported and part of a community that’s cheering you on.
I have been extremely impressed with the content of this membership! I use almost every single resource in one capacity or another in my classroom. A lot of the materials are hands-on, manipulative games and activities that engage my young learners without having to be stuck at their desk with paper and pencil all day. The TeachAlongs™ have been wonderful [professional development] for me, with ready-made resources that are a part of easy-to-follow programming that takes the guesswork out of day-to-day planning. I have had so much more time this year, as I’m not reinventing the wheel and making up quality French resources or scouring the internet all night looking for something applicable! I would recommend joining to all new or seasoned primary French teachers! :)

CURRENT MEMBER
CHOOSE YOUR PLAN
The monthly payment to join Enseignons ensemble is 25$ CAD (+ tax)/month (you can cancel anytime if it's not the right fit!), or there’s an annual option of 250$ CAD (+ tax)/year. It's the best value you’ll find for the amount of resources, trainings, and support you will receive!
NOTE: Both the monthly and annual payment options are automatically recurring subscriptions. This means that you'll pay 25$ for your first month now and then 25$ every month following until you cancel your membership and subscription. The same is true for the annual payment, except your payment will recur annually on the anniversary of your enrollment date.
If you choose the monthly plan, you will receive 60 credits/month, on your monthly renewal date. You can spend them right away or save them up for a bigger purchase -- they never expire! If you choose the annual option, you'll get all 720 credits upfront, to spend however you choose throughout the year.
If there's something you wish to purchase but you don't have enough credits for it (and you don't want to wait), you can purchase credits top-ups anytime on the website!
REMEMBER:
Doors to
Enseignons ensemble
are currently only open to those who completed the Summer Prep Party challenge or are on the waitlist, and they're closing Tuesday at midnight.
So, if you want to join us, now's the time!
Due to the digital nature of the membership, no refunds will be offered once your membership begins (upon purchase). However, you can cancel your monthly or annual membership at any time!

WHAT MEMBERS THINK
The Club du Primaire membership exceeded my expectations. As an FI teacher in Ontario, I want to ensure the resources I use are of good quality and meet the needs of my learners. Since we spend tons of our own money on resources, it is amazing to have access to SO many for only a small fee. The monthly resource packs help make planning so much easier, and my students loved them! I also loved the masterclasses that were offered because I was able to complete them on my own time. I definitely recommend all of my French teacher friends to join!
- Stefania S.
This is probably my best [professional development] in my 20 years of teaching. Club du Primaire is a great investment.
- Brenda G.
I am officially in my second full year of teaching French Immersion K/1. I consider Mme. Andrea to be my greatest go-to resource as I navigate the curriculum. Prior to finding her amazing resources, I felt behind the 8-ball with respect to developing my focus. Her courses are relevant and easy to follow, and she seems to know exactly what we need. They gave me focus in an otherwise chaotic COVID year. In addition, my literacy program has skyrocketed this year due to her course content (La rentrée, Writing, Sons composés...) I love looking through the monthly resources and find them extremely relevant. I am also really appreciative of the new mathematics materials she has started to incorporate in the monthly resources. I have gladly signed on for another year of Mme. Andrea and look forward to her new offerings.
- Jayme C.
So happy I joined this! My September has been smoother, and I feel like I’m miles ahead of where I was last year! 😊 Thank you!!!
- Nisha F.
Mme Andrea has transformed my teaching practice! Last summer, I started with her back-to-school course, which included the ABC Bootcamp. No words can express how this helped me and my young learners make our way through the alphabet and the letter sounds. Upon joining Club du Primaire, I had instant access to a variety of activities for each month that could be prepared for learning centres in large- and small-group settings. The addition of her mini-courses for writing, reading, sounds, and read alouds have me excited about returning to school as a Grade 1 teacher. Conceptually, the content is easy to digest, you are given a plethora of practical activities and resources to work with, and no translating is required! :) Andrea is readily accessible for a quick question, and the community of learners/teaching professional dialogue that can be accessed via the Facebook group is extremely helpful. I have been teaching for over 20 years, and my membership with Mme Andrea is some of the most useful professional development that I have ever accessed in my career. I look forward to the new platform and to seeing what new ideas and resources will be presented. Merci!
- Tiffany S.
My favourite resource so far is the alphabet poems. I have gotten all four strands on a daily basis, increased mastery of sight words, and kept student interest with the files that surround these poems. The monthly resource packs and support with questions have been amazing for adding depth to my activities. The masterclasses with Mariah, Yvette, and Tia are my favourites. There is so much to this group that has made my last two years amazing! I have added activities to the class that I wasn't expecting to do just because they added mastery to the skills I was teaching via distance studies. Thank you!
- Shelly W.
So glad that I joined this group! I really enjoy how many things I am able to implement right away. My students know what to expect, I'm seeing faster growth, and I'm less stressed and spending less time planning. So, so, so helpful. I like the opportunity to ask questions and clarify. Thank you so much for making this [membership]; it has honestly been the best [professional development] I have ever gotten.
- Glenna C.
The amount and variety of resources was perfect! I already own many of your resources, so I was slightly worried that this may not provide enough value for me personally, but it exceeded my expectations. Love that I will continue to have access to all the resources going into the second year.
- Amanda C.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are the answers to some of the questions I have most frequently been asked about joining the membership and what's included:
In a word, YES! My goal is to make sure that it will be worth it for anyone who wants to be a member. On August 28, you will receive over 100$ worth of resources right off the bat, in the Enseignons l'alphabet ensemble, to help you have an amazing first eight weeks of school! And, every month (or year), you'll receive credits (étoiles) to redeem on whatever resources you want/need from my online shop. Everything from TpT will be in the shop, plus video trainings, TeachAlongs™, and members-only resource packs. With this flexibility (not offered in any other teacher membership I've ever come across), you can be sure that you'll be getting your money's worth!
Due to the digital nature of the membership and to the fact that you'll receive your resources on the first of each month, I am unable to offer refunds after you have made your purchase to enroll. But, you can cancel at anytime, no explanation needed! So, if you know that your teaching assignment will be changing in March, for example, then you can choose the monthly option and make sure to cancel in February. (Please allow for one week for the cancellation of payments to take effect.)
During the 2020-2021 school year, the first time I gave TeachAlongs™ a go, members were automatically enrolled in all of them as part of their membership. The reason that has since changed is simply...choice! Not everyone needs the TeachAlongs™ I am offering at a given time or is able to put in the work for them due to other circumstances. By offering credits instead (which are redeemable on TeachAlongs™), you get to decide if you want to participate in a particular TeachAlong™ or not. I don't want you to waste your money (we all know teachers have to spend way too much out of pocket as it is!), and I want to be sure that everyone is receiving resources and materials that are relevant and helpful to them -- no matter their grade/subjects taught/experience levels/etc.
Note: If you redeem credits for a TeachAlong™ this year, you'll automatically be enrolled in updated versions of it from year to year, provided you remain a member in good standing. :)
Literacy is my jam! The TeachAlongs™ I do definitely have a big focus on teaching the alphabet, getting your literacy centres going, and becoming comfortable with guided reading. It's much less overwhelming to just focus on a few things at a time! I want you to get the most possible out of this membership, so a narrower focus is best to get started. We are going to go deep to start, rather than wide!
But, I created and ran an optional Math Workshop TeachAlong™ during the 2021-2022 school year, and each monthly resource pack now includes at least one math resource. You can also, of course, redeem your credits on any of my resources for math/other subjects whenever you like! Over the next few years of the membership, I will add even more resources and trainings to help you master other subjects and concepts, too.
If you need to cancel your membership for any reason, it's not a problem. Upon cancelling, you will only continue to have access to the portal(s) until the end of your current billing cycle, and your credits top-ups will stop (but any credits you already have in your user account will remain, as they don't expire). If you need to rejoin the membership later, you will need to join at the current membership rate. You will still be able to access any resources/TeachAlongs™ you purchased via membership credits after you cancel. However, you will NOT have access to any future updates of TeachAlongs™/resources you purchased or to the Enseignons ensemble membership portal.
If you need to pause your membership for any reason (for example, maternity leave) and you don't want to lose your current membership tier and rate, that's also an option! Similarly to cancellation, once your current billing cycle ends upon pausing your subscription, you will lose access to your portal(s). You will regain access to them once you resume your membership subscription and start paying monthly or annually again. Your credits balance in your user account will not be impacted.
You can cancel or pause your membership subscription inside your Account Dashboard when you're logged in, in the "Subscriptions" tab. However, if you're having difficulty, you can email our team at andrea@maternelleavecmmeandrea.com for support!
Due to the digital nature of the membership and the immediate access to all of the resources and materials provided inside it, we do not offer refunds.
