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!

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.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really love how diverse your class was.
