Register Poussins Workshop Alexandria
Poussins (5-7 years) Summer Workshop
Saturdays 10:05-11 am - July 11th to Aug 8th - $150
Class Description
- Children will be immersed in the language though playful activities, songs, dance, stories, games, and more. Parents or caregivers can contribute by encouraging the children. Crafts, drawings will develop the fine motor abilities of the children. Interaction wit puppets will make talking French really fun!
- The class is in full immersion and therefore suited for French or English speaking children. At a young age, children are very intuitive and beginners will learn fast. French speaking children will talk and interact more, while English speakers will need more time to pronounce the words, but they understand very fast.
Children will build new vocabulary through puppets, images, songs and situations in the same way they are building these skills with their language spoken at home.
Typical program:
Greetings, songs and dance
Meeting our friends (Monsieur nez rouge, ...)
Talk, sing, work on the vocabulary
Little writting projects
Songs, games
Au revoir!
Every quarter we cover seasonal themes and topics children love (animals, food, family,...)
The plus:
+ We recreate an authentic language environment (no flash cards methodology!)
+ Teachers are native speakers (no accent!) and experienced with small children
+ Child focused approach
Parent Participation and Responsibility
Please note that the classroom is intentionally set up for the children only and space is limited at our Alexandria location.
Parents accompany their child to the classroom for drop-off and pick-up. During the lesson, children attend independently. Parents are asked to remain nearby and are welcome to observe from the hallway or deck if they wish. although space may be limited.
This class is designed to prepare children for learning independently, just as they do at school. Most children participate more confidently when they attend without a parent sitting next to them.
Code of Conduct
If a child becomes disruptive, we may call you to come pick up your child.
