French Dollhouse Rooms

The girls have been working very hard on their dollhouse rooms.  We are having so much fun admiring them in class.  I wanted to give you a glimpse into what we are doing with them in class.  For each dollhouse, we look at them and list all of the things in them that we know how to say in French.  Then the girls tell me sentences describing the room and I type out what they say and project it on the board.  I add a beginning and an ending sentence.  When we are done writing our paragraph, we practice reading the paragraphs.  This is a great introduction to reading in French.  Here is an example of our work from today in Mrs. Mills' class.

 Bienvenue dans la bibliothèque de Pete.  La fenêtre est à droite.  La lampe est à droite aussi.  La lampe est blanche et jaune.  Les murs sont blancs, orange, bleus, verts, et violets.  La table est à gauche.  Il y a une chaise entre la table et le mur.  La table est à droite de la chaise.  Sur la table il y a des livres.  J'aime tous les livres dans la bibliothèque de Pete.
