Petit Chef Adventures: Create Your Own Cookbook While Learning French!

Class Experience: 
***********************
-The class starts by reading the recipe and learning to read with the proper intonation. 

-Next we translate it together, to understand how to proceed to make the recipe at home. 

-We move on to covering the vocabulary on the second page and show the similarities to any languages the learners might know. 

-Last, we finish by coloring the pictures on our vocabulary page. 

-Each week, you collect a new recipe to put in a binder to create your cookbook. 
This engaging and interactive class combines learning to read a recipe and understand the steps involved when cooking, creativity with coloring ingredients and tools, and language learning with reading basics and vocabulary, offering children a unique experience. 

Here's an overview of the activities:
****************************************
