TitleFrench culture in elementary classes
Body
This email is in response to a request for ideas regarding teaching French
culture to elementary-age students:

I think you should stay away from the French Revolution. I tried it several
years ago, and a parent confronted me saying that his son had nightmares
about the guillotine! My first graders (6 and 7 year olds) love -- absolutely
love -- my unit on the Eiffel Tower. My third graders learn about Monet. My
fourth graders learn about Degas. My fifth graders do a unit on castles and
medieval life. There's lots of stuff on the internet.
