LENAPE FRENCH ROOM
March and Early April 2014
CAFÉ DAY
After learning about French cafés (food and drinks typically available, how to order, how to describe food, how to get the check), the students created their own café. They paired up and played the roles of client and server. If they wanted anything to eat or drink, they had to order it in French. After this activity, I asked them if they felt that they could go to Paris for their junior year (of college) and not die of hunger or dehydration. They resoundingly replied: OUI!
Many thanks to all of the family members who helped with shopping and cooking (and cleaning?). Without you, we could not have brought this little piece of Paris to Lenape.
(Remember that you can see small photos in larger format by double clicking on them. You can also navigate through a row of photos with the arrows.)
When you're turning five on the same day as your big sister's café day, then café day can also be a birthday party! (And your big sister can teach you how to order in a French café.)
POISSON D'AVRIL !!!
The verb "aller"
The verb "aller" means "to go," and can be used to talk about:
1) How things are going
2) Where you are going
3) What you are going to do
Because it's an irregular verb, of course, we have to have a song for it!
