Back to School First Day Activities for Enfin, Te Voilà! FRENCH
What educators are saying
Description
These first day of school read aloud activities, ideal for French immersion students are based on the most perfect first day book ever, Enfin, Te Voilà! (You’re Finally Here!), by Melanie Watt. This high engagement resource provides you with a full and fun first week of school reading, writing and getting to know you activities and is identical to my best-selling English version, You’re Finally Here!
This unique resource will help your students get to know each other, play group games, write about how it’s going so far, set goals, and explain what took them so long to get to your class! Also included is an adorable class anchor chart and book character goal setting craft. The easy prep bulletin board doubles as a first day photo booth. Signs for students to hold are included in French for Grades K-4.
Ideal for French, Canadian, and French immersion teachers, I've even included special desk notes to welcome your class on the first day!
Here's how the unit works:
The very impatient, and often bored, bunny of a book character is waiting and waiting for his readers! When they finally arrive he is overjoyed! I set the premise and convince my new class that I, just like the book character, have been waiting, and waiting, and WAITING for them to arrive!
Included are lots of fun, first day of school and all week long activities for reading, writing, and getting to know new friends. The unit also includes a student booklet for students to explain what took them so long to get to your class, and the responses are priceless! My class LOVED it and I know yours will too!
