French Class

The children participate in our weekly French class in small groups. Elisa incorporates stories, games, songs, and other fun activities that encourage repetition of basic vocabulary like colours, numbers, shapes, and family members. It is wonderful to see children pick up French books independently and recreate the stories they have read.

French Curriculum

Our French teacher Cheeba works with the children using music, songs, and creative movement with props and special techniques.  Cheeba’s curriculum teaches the children conversational French with self-expression, family vocabulary and human anatomy.  Children learn to express their emotions with both English and French vocabulary and build on their empathy, which supports their social and problem solving skills.  As proud Canadians, we are learning the National anthem en francais along with familiar places in our beautiful country.
