Bonjour!
We have been having lots of fun in French class as we establish our routines. Here’s how our afternoon goes:
3:30 - The children come in and sit in a circle on the rug. We start with our bonjour song that is to the tune of Frère Jacques. Have your child sing it for you!
Bonjour, bonjour.
Comment ça va? Comment ça va?
Très, très bien aujourd’hui, très, très bien aujourd’hui.
*Merci bien, merci bien.
*We change this line to talk about different feelings such as très mal, je suis fatigué, jesuis content(e), je suis triste, and je suis malade. If you don’t know these expressions,maybe your student can teach them to you!
3:45 - We split our class into two groups at this point. The older girls go with Mme Cindy to work on more age-appropriate activities in a smaller group (not only are they learning French vocabulary, but how to read and write it as well!), and the rest of us stay on the rug. There, we talk with our classroom animals, count, sing, playgames, learn colors and animal names, and listen to stories (all in French, of course!). I will write more about rug time in my next post.
4:25 – The whole group comes back together to go outside for a little break where we play games as a group. The favorite is 1,2,3 Soleil which is a French version of Red Light, Green Light.
4:35 – We are back in the classroom for a short cultural lesson or a coloring project that is done at the tables. The goal of the project is to reinforce the lesson or the vocabulary that we have focused on that day.
4:55 – Clean up and au revoir!
