Welcome to the vibrant and engaging French language class designed for ages 3-6. Build a love of Learning French. Students learn French by exploring essential topics that lay the foundation for effective communication and understanding. This dynamic approach integrates playful activities, visual aids, songs, and interactive games to foster a love for language learning and cultural exploration. We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada. Children will be introduced to foundational aspects of the French language, focusing on: Greetings: Basic greetings like bonjour (hello) and bonsoir (good evening). Weather: Simple expressions to describe weather conditions such as il fait beau (it's sunny) and il pleut (it's raining). Days of the Week: Learning the names of the days (lundi, mardi, etc.) and understanding their sequence. Simple Conversations: Basic conversational phrases for everyday interactions. Numbers 1-10: Counting from un (one) to dix (ten) through counting games, songs, and interactive counting exercises. Colours: Learning primary colours like rouge (red), bleu (blue), and jaune (yellow) through colouring activities, sorting games, and identifying colours in their environment. Animals: Discovering animals such as la vache (cow), le chien (dog), and le chat (cat) through stories, songs, and animal-themed games. Food: Exploring basic food items (la nourriture) like le pain (bread), les fruits (fruits), and les légumes (vegetables) through food-related activities, and naming games. Shapes: Recognizing and naming shapes (les formes) such as le cercle (circle), le carré (square), and le triangle (triangle) using shape puzzles, drawing exercises, and shape sorting activities. Transportation: Learning vocabulary related to transportation (les moyens de transport) including la voiture (car), le bus (bus), and le vélo (bicycle) through toy vehicles, matching games, and songs about different modes of transport. Body Parts: Identifying parts of the body (les parties du corps) such as la tête (head), les yeux (eyes), and les mains (hands) through songs, body movement exercises, and interactive activities. Class Structure: The class will be structured in a way where I will reinforce daily lessons focusing on foundational language skills through engaging activities, alongside other lessons. 1. Every class will begin with basic greetings like bonjour (hello) and au revoir (goodbye) through songs and role-playing. 2. We will explore simple weather expressions such as il fait beau (it's sunny) and il pleut (it's raining) using visual aids and daily weather discussions. 3. Each day, I will review the days of the week (lundi, mardi, etc.) through songs and calendar activities, reinforcing their sequence. 4. We also practice naming and recognizing basic shapes such as le cercle (circle), le carré (square), and le triangle (triangle) through puzzles and drawing exercises. 5. Daily counting games, songs, and interactive exercises help students master numbers from un (one) to dix (ten) in French. 6. Students will review colours through colouring, games, and identifying objects of different colours. Students will engage in hands-on activities like crafts, games, worksheets, and interactive exercises throughout the class. Every class will end with a song and a recap of the day's topic where we will review key vocabulary and phrases. My teaching method will involve a hands-on and multi-sensory approach. I aim to teach my students with the use of flashcards, posters, and pictures to reinforce vocabulary, sing songs, recite rhymes, and listen to stories in French, engage in movement-based activities and interactive games that involve physical participation, and incorporate role-playing, pretend play, and themed activities to make learning enjoyable and meaningful. My teaching style is interactive, nurturing curiosity and creativity while maintaining structure and educational goals. I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where children feel encouraged to participate and explore. Students will have many opportunities for interaction during group activities, circle time discussions, and individual tasks. I encourage active participation through questions, games, and tasks that promote language use and understanding.
