French: La Cigale et la Fourmi

We have been learning about the French fable "La Cigale et la Fourmi" by Jean de la Fontaine. It tells the story of a cicada who spends all summer singing and having fun. She is unprepared when winter arrives and has to go knocking on the door of the hardworking ant in order to ask for food.

The girls worked on learning a version of the fable and then put on skits for the class. Your daughter played either la narratrice, la cigale, or la fourmi. Some of our skits will be performed after the break but I hope you enjoy pictures from our performances so far!

                                      PIONEER DAY 

We always end our Pioneer Unit with a Pioneer Day Celebration which involves dressing as pioneer girls in1848, making pioneer dolls, and performing dances and songs for our parents during our picnic.  A special thank you to our wonderful class parents who volunteered to guide our girls in the making of the dolls.  We couldn't have done it without you!
