The WLCP at Hoover Elementary strives to introduce and educate our children (Grades K - 6) about different languages and cultures through workbooks, classroom participation, games, songs and class time projects. Classes are scheduled prior to the start of school. The WLCP is a special project of the Hoover PTA and is coordinated by parent volunteers.

Le temps et la nourriture (Weather and Food in French)

Bonjour,
the past few weeks we have been learning the calendar, days of week, months of the year, seasons, and weather. o practice at home, you can ask your child to do a mini weather report at breakfast or at dinner.

This week and next week we are starting to talk about food: what we love, like, and hate to eat. Your child will bring home a long list of common foods. To practice, I recommend having your child help create a grocery list or plan menus for le petit déjuener (breakfast), le déjuener (lunch), and le dîner (dinner). We will also learn how to set the table.

Finally, the French postal service has a website where children can write to Santa and he writes back (it takes a few weeks). The website also has some games. I am happy to help your child write a letter to Santa; please have your child bring a short (two or three items) list of what they would like to ask for and I will translate for them.

Merci
Elizabeth
