End of Year Party.

We watched Linnea in Monet's Garden. Played I Spy in French. Sang a French song and a Christmas carol in French. Put a friend to sleep.

French today. Role play greetings. And a happy birthday.

A Quote from Monet

School always appeared to me like prison, and I could never make up my mind to stay there, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was such a joy to run about in the free air, or to paddle around in the water. Claude Monet

L'école m'apparaissait toujours comme la prison et je ne pouvais jamais me décider pour rester là, quand le soleil invitait, la mer lisse et quand c'était une telle joie pour courir de dans l'air libre, ou pagayer autour de dans l'eau.
