We started off with a simple Santa craft where the little ones had to assemble Santa's face. As they reached for each part ( les yeux, le nez, la bouche, le visage, etc..) the moms reinforced the item in French and had their child repeat the word back to them.
Once the craft was completed we gathered around to listen to the story. The kids were very excited to talk about Père Noël and what happens in their homes La Nuit De Noel. Madame Gergereau engaged the children by asking lots of questions and then helped them pronounce key words en français.
Once the story was read we had a special visitor come to our program! Yes - the Big Guy himself - Mr Potato Head! The kids could hardly contain themselves and they were happy to assist in putting him all back together again. I would call out a part in French and then the child who had the item was allowed to come up and place it back on. The kids jumped up with delight as their item was called out and at one point we had a swarming of exited little people yelling out body parts!
We had one happy little lady who won her very own copy of our featured book "La Nuit De Noel" by Barbara Reid thanx to Scholastic Canada!
