Children will be introduced to the French language through songs, stories, and games. Ms. Colleen is a bilingual (French and English) teacher who has been sharing fun language lessons with children for many years. Her patient and calm teaching style helps children who are new to foreign language learning feel confident and at ease. The following topics can be covered; Greetings, Colours, Food, Days of the Week, Numbers, Parts of the Body, Weather, and Clothing. 
Depending on what your child would like to learn, these topics can be covered in the following manner, one private lesson at a time:


Greetings and Colours
We will learn how to introduce ourselves in French. We will sing "Bonjour, Je m'appelle" and will learn how to tell people our name and ask them theirs. We will read "Ours Brun - Dis-moi" which will introduce colours and animals in French. Using flashcard style graphics, we will practice and review our lesson.


Numbers and Days of the Week
After greeting each other in French and telling each other one colour that we are wearing, we will read the story, "La Chenille qui Fait des Trous". This story will introduce numbers, the days of the week, and various food words. We will sing "La Chanson de la Semaine" which will help us learn the days of the week. We will practice the new words we have learned by retelling the story, "La Chenille qui Fait des Trous", using flannel pieces and will practice counting.


Parts of the Body
This week we will sing, "Tete, Epaules, Genoux et Peids" to introduce the parts of the body in French. We will then play a matching game in order to match each word to the corresponding photo. We will practice our numbers by counting our fingers and telling how many of each body part we have. We will read, "De la Tete aux Pieds" which will help reinforce the new words we learned this week.


Weather and Clothing
This week we will learn how to ask and tell others what the weather is. Using flashcard style graphics, we will play a matching game with weather and clothing pictures. We will read, "Mes Vetements" which will introduce clothing words in French. We will also identify the colours of the clothing on each page. We will review the words for parts of the body by matching clothing  pictures with body pictures.
