Les extra-terrestres arrivent!
As we approach the end of the year, we are spending some time preparing for things to come in first grade. Students have been introduced to the characters in Muzzy, whom they will follow over the next few years. Muzzy and his friends in Gondoland provide us with a lot of fuel for class conversations. Students have also been working more with numbers and general vocabulary review, categorizing words and finding patterns and similarities between words.

Jean-Petit qui danse
A new song that has entered our collection is Jean-Petit qui danse, a song about a man who finds all kinds of crazy ways to dance. We enjoyed some more of Pocoyo's adventures as he plays cache-cache with the viewers. Finally, now that spring is here, we will be spending more time in the forest on Fridays, during Français dans la forêt!

Qui aime beaucoup les fraises?
Kindergarteners have been expanding their ability to express their likes and dislikes as we learn fruits. We used some images from the books Fast Food, How Are You Peeling?, and Dog Food to connect these new words to vocabulary we have already studied: emotions and animals. Finally, we have begun to work with body parts, which brought Alouette into our repertoire of songs.

Vite et lentement
We have embarked on some new vocabulary journeys since vacation in December. Our overarching theme has been vite et lentement, and we have talked about animals and modes of transportation that travel quickly and slowly. Pocoyo has made a return, and we see him racing his friend Elly in a story whose plot parallels the "Tortoise and Hare." Students are receiving some excellent input and their output is coming in leaps and bounds as a result.

Les amis
Many of our lessons this fall have involved friends and kindness: songs about animal friends protecting each other from the dangers of the forest (Dans sa maison, un grand cerf), a boy who cheers up his sad penguin friend (Monty le pingouin), and a young boy who, with some help from his friend, learns to jump rope (Pocoyo saute à la corde).

Bonjour, coucou, salut!
Kindergarten French has gotten off to a booming start. We have dived right into the language, singing songs and reading books. We now know animals and colors, and will soon be "writing" a story together. It's been a lot of fun to begin to know these students, and help them on this new adventure en français!
