Register Poussins Workshop Alexandria
Poussins (5-7 years) Summer Workshop
Saturdays 10:05-11 am - July 13th to Aug 10th - $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.
Young kids 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, le crabe, ...)
Talk, sing, work on the vocabulary
Little writting projects
Songs, games or craft project
Au revoir!
Every quarter we cover seasonal themes and topics children love (animals, food, family, fairy tales...)
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
Parents of children 5 and above do not need to stay in the room, but it is important to stay in the vicinity in case we need to call you. If spaces are not limited, we really encourage parents to stay in the class.
If spaces are limited, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, parents of children 5 and older should not stay in class.
Code of Conduct
If a child becomes disruptive, the parent or caregiver will take them out of the class until they calms down in order to preserve a constructive learning environment. We may call you to come pick up your child.
