Language School for Kids at Noah's Ark Preschool
The Illinois Wesleyan University Language School for Kids is so excited to be partnering with Noah's Ark Preschool at St. John's Lutheran Church in Bloomington for the 2019-2020 school year!
In Fall 2019, I will be teaching French to the PreK 4/5 afternoon class once per week for thirty minutes. As always, there will be a lot of singing and music, fun and games, interactive book readings, hands-on activities, and more to expose these young minds to a different language and different cultures. I will be working closely with Noah's Ark teachers to be sure my lesson corresponds to the curriculum units, enabling the students to make connections with what they learn in French to what they're learning in class.
In Spring 2019, the preschool Spanish teacher from the IWU Language School for Kids will take my spot to introduce the students to Spanish! What a wonderful opportunity for these growing minds!
