French: Le fromage, le fromage!

We have started my personal favorite unit of the year: the cheese unit. Not only does it end in a delicious cheese party, but cheese teaches the girls so much about French culture. Among other things, they learn that there are over 350 types of French cheese and that each cheese comes from a specific region. The girls help me describe cheese color, shape, size, and how long it ripens. For each fromage we discuss, the girls create a Pic Collage summarizing what they've learned. Ask your daughter to tell you a fact about our first cheese, le Camembert!
