Eileen and I went to Charlie's class this morning (12th) at 9:30 a.m. They were just finishing up their snacks when we came in and then the class was split into 2 with half going to music class and the other half staying with us.
Charlie was in the first batch with us and I started by reading the book about the history of the Bonhomme Carnaval. I ended up adlibing the pages to try and keep it a bit more engaging for the kids mainly because the reading was at too advanced of an age for these 3 and 4 year olds.
After the book I did get Paul ask me to read it again. I'm not sure if Charlie was paying attention because I was busy reading but he's read it with me a dozent times already.
I did have the new sony dsc-t700 with me but didn't use it until later so missed some good shots.
Anyways, after the book Eileen had prepared some paper lunch bags with all the parts of the snowman in it so the kids could glue it and make a puppet. That kept everyone busy and then after that we had drawings from the Carnaval that they colored as well. Time flew by.
In half an hour the class swapped and we rinsed and repeated. It was a good chance to chat with the teachers as well and mainly about the fact that Canadian french words are different than ours. For example Tuque...they had no idea.
Actually they had never heard of the the Bonhomme de Caranaval neither.
Anyways, it made for a real fun and different morning and got a chance to be with Charlie's class mates as well.
