(All that of course is only a taste of what's keeping me busy; in addition to classroom work, it's also the busiest time of year at my store, CATS R US... all in all, I'm definitely feeling the holiday crunch!)
My class is learning the French version to "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" for our school's holiday concert, and I think it sounds really nice already... despite the fact that we only started practicing yesterday (eep!) I also like the translation of the song-- the French version is "Au royaume du bonhomme hiver"- 'in Jack Frost's kingdom'. It's sweet. The kiddos are picking it up really fast, but it remains to be seen whether we'll attempt any harmony. I'm really hoping to try, as it would make our performance *so* cute. (For those of you who are wondering, it's a really simple harmony, as seen in this video:
We've also got some crafting to do, but luckily our morning work is all laid out for us; my first winter unit is up on tpt, and we're using some of these to start our language activities each day. Although, I've learned that many of my tpt followers have been using these activities as homework; what a great idea! Personally, I like to laminate a set of these, and keep them in a bin for early finishers to work on. They love the chance to use dry erase markers!
If you haven't already seen the unit, check it out!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Bena,
ReplyDeleteI'm your first official follower, as far as I can see. Je suis toujours ravie de faire la connaissance des autres enseignantes d'immersion! Et c'est fantastique que le montant de ressources françaises continue d'accroitre chez TPT!
A blog tip though - the Google Friend Connect Followers tool was canned by Google last July, so it would be a good idea to check out a different Blog Reader tool. (I use Bloglovin, but there are others - peek at some of your fav teacher blogs to see what they use!)
