National French Day,
Nov. 5 – 11
During National French Day, boys and girls from pre-first through fifth grade had the opportunity to hear about France from Madame Felch. During these library enrichment sessions, they learned about French geography, the French flag, the Eiffel Tower, other famous monuments and commonly used French and English cognates. The reading of La Fontaine’s version of The Ant and the Grasshopper presented the children with the moral: “If you don’t work when you should, you must be willing to accept the consequences.” Future library enrichment sessions are planned for winter and spring.
