Learning French opens up a whole new world of awareness for Calvert students. Not only do they learn how to listen, speak, sing, and write in French, they also learn about the ways in which French is all around them.
Here are some of the bulletin boards in the French classroom that focus on French in our world:
Artist of the Month
Each month a different French artist is highlighted.
French is Everywhere
cooking, sports, politics, architecture, art, science,
history, literature, fashion, American city names,
music, dance, English vocabulary, products, philosophy
French in the World
As you can see, French is spoken in many countries around the world.
French and English are the only languages spoken on five continents.
This display just outside the French Classroom is a work-in-progress. Created by 9th Age students with their French finds from home ... found in magazines, newspapers, and catalogues; on food labels and packaging; in photographs; on maps, ... We will soon need a new wall!!
