Elle arrived late today. She then spent 10 minutes speaking to Elise and Nicole about lunch and her new babysitter. She lost 22 minutes of class time. 15 minutes - We began with a review of “city places” by playing bingo. Each square had the name of a place on her map project: a library, a house, etc. I called out names in English and Elle searched her bingo board which was entirely in French. Once she found the French translation for the English word I had called out, she said it in French. Her French pronunciation was good. This continued until she called “bingo”. Elle needed to look up the words to many of the places. If I were to grade her, she would have received 50%. 10 minutes - We then practice the “time” format and some times in French. Elle is improving with telling time. 10 minutes - I introduced “weather” and “seasons”. Elle and I had discussed weather briefly last week, so it wasn’t entirely new. She repeated all the expressions from the activity sheet I had prepared. She then identified weather patterns on scenes of seasons. Remainder of the class time: We moved to “you tube” which Elle enjoys very much. I allowed her to choose a couple videos of weather & seasons totally in French. She chose the ones that were songs and she sang along with the native speaker. It was very effective and she continued to sing the weather and season song even as our time was up and the next teacher entered the room.
