Thanksgiving in the French Classroom

This week I talked about Thanksgiving in my classes. The older kids read about Thanksgiving in French and then they learned and wrote a few words like corn, turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and family. For the little kids, I gave a simple explanation, reviewed colors, and then had them make hand turkeys, which they kept calling poules (chickens). No! Not chickens! Turkeys!



Kiddies in my CE1 (2nd grade) class at JF showing their hand turkeys.


This was taken just before the one above. Shows how well they listen to me!

    Awe! Thanks guys for posting comments! Emily- it really just depends. Some days and some classes are good and their cute little French accents make me smile. I LOVE it when I see that they've learned something. Other days and classes are more difficult.
