BIENVENUE! WELCOME TO MADAME DENAMIEL'S WEBSITE!

I am very excited to start developing our French program at Archway Lincoln! I will be working with our youngest students in kindergarten, in first, in second an in third grade. Each student will have a forty minute long French class twice per week. Classes will be taught in the immersion method--French only. Proven effective, children quickly become accustomed to French sounds and words, and will be engaged in fun activities that make the new language feel natural. These include songs, games, coloring, stories, skits, and TPR (Total Physical Response--physical imitation and response to verbal commands.) The goals of the French program at Archway Lincoln are to help the students  to become comfortable with and enjoy learning another language; build phrases, using simple vocabulary and  grammar, which will help them in their future language studies; and appreciate the  many cultures of France and the French-speaking world. The topics we will cover this year include greetings and expressions of courtesy, verbal commands, school, calendar, colors, numbers,  family, house,  animals, and weather. I look forward to introducing your students to the world of French! Please feel free to contact me with any questions that might arise throughout the year.

Merci beaucoup!
