summer fun + learning french

why is it that summer just flies by? i can't believe how fast it's going, but we are having fun and checking things off of our summer list. one of things we have been enjoying is my girl's french class. she goes once a week, for and hour and a half and comes home with new vocabulary each week. the first day she came home she spoke french all day. (note: it was avery french, not real french, but at least she was trying.) by week two and three she was asking me for things in french, which always makes a mama feel good, knowing the money we are spending for these lessons are actually working. two of her big sayings were, "de l'eau", which means water and "qu'est-ce que vous voulez?" which means "what would you like?" we also have checked out a couple of french books from the library to help us a long the way. i am saying "us and we" because i do not know a lick of french or any foreign language for the matter, so i am learning through her and with her and it's fun. the pics below are from her first day at french class...

for those of you that know my girl, you know she is very enthusiastic about the things she does, so she dressed for the occasion with her pink beret and french braids. she also wanted to bring one of our french books from home to share and i wish i had her turn the book around because it would've made the pic so much better. it's titled, a trip to paris.

this french class they played restaurant and used the vocabulary words they learned as they played.

their snack and restaurant food.

she kept her beret on for the whole class. my little frenchie.

after class, all of the kids ran for the dirt lot in the back to play various games (not in french), but maybe that will come with time.
