Winter Session Important Updates!

Winter Session is starting on Tuesday and meeting for a total of 6 classes!  This session there are lots of great learning activities planned for you to be aware of.....

1.  Throughout the 6 week session, we will be learning Silent Night in French (the first verse).  Handouts will be provided in class.

2.  There are several winter theme and Christmas themed activities planned, and vocabulary!

.3.  We will also be focusing on the alphabet and counting 1 -20!  (Especially that tricky 11 -20!)

4.  Prize Basket Update!!!   Blandine let me know that she was VERY impressed with the kids sharing French songs on the last week of class!  She said that a variety of songs were song by the children.  Now this term, the prize basket is going to get a little harder.  Kids can only pick from the prize basket on Week 5 and Week 6 to ensure ample time to practice and get the songs down very well.  Also, they can only draw from the prize bin if they can repeat Silent Night or the entire ABCs.  I will have handouts for kids to take home to practice!  :)   (If your child has been practicing really hard on a different song, let me know and we can make an exception)  :)

5.  The last week of class we will all come together for a little Christmas French fun!

I'm a little behind on the website right now, but hopefully will have it all caught up by Week 2 and will email those updates soon.

God bless!

Check out this youtube link with your kids to have this well known Dr. Seuss book read in French!

Blandine has also offered to have available at class some favorite French children's books for you borrow and read with your kids.    Merci!

RSVP

Fun Fact!

Ever wondered what RSVP stands for?  I wondered the very same thought last weekend and did a little google search.  If you don't already know, it is a french phrase!  Here is what it means...

It is derived from the French phrase Répondez s'il vous plaît, literally "Reply if you please" or "Please reply".

Week 1 Les Amis

The Les Amis website will be updated with the instructors' lesson plans and songs to practice at home throughout the week.  If you miss a class, you can use this webpage to get caught up.  Or, if you attended, you can know what to practice during the week.

Also, I think some of you may have missed getting your weekly bookmark for vocabulary practice. Remember to pick those up next week.  :)

Directions for St. Johns!

Bonjour!

Looking forward to classes starting again soon!  I'm really missing that regular practice!

Here are the directions for finding the classroom.

Tuesday, September 29th 3:30 - 4:30

Go to St. Johns School
W899 S. 6th Ave. West Bend

Park in the lot in between the church and the Early Childhood building.  Please don't park in the front row facing the building as it is reserved for pick up and drop off.

You will walk to the doors and there is a buzzer to come in.  You can go up the stairs right next to the entry and the Early Childhood room is up there where the 3-6 year olds will meet.  I will be there the first day to give directions until a little before class starts.

If you have a stroller like me, there are elevators a little down the hallway, I can direct you there as well.

The older kids will meet in the library which is just around the corner from the Early Childhood room.

Hope it's smooth sailing for you to find the class!  Please let me know at cmfleisner@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Merci!  Marianne
