Bonjour!

As I continue to find new ways for children to expand their use of the French language, I wanted to introduce a new service I am offering. It is called French Dinner and a Movie! This group French experience is currently for students in grades 1-4 (flexible) and it will generally be held on 1 or 2 Fridays per month. Many have found this service helpful and so far every family has had great things to say about it!

If you have yet to partake in French Dinner and a Movie, this is a chance for you to have a night out for a date or to run errands. The general audience for this event has been 1st-4th graders but of course, all ages are welcome! As always, only French will be spoken under my watch which makes for a fun opportunity for children to practice their French outside of school, in a casual setting!

The evening entails music, crafts, board games, and a small library for those who like to read. I serve pizza and fruit for dinner while showing a movie of their choice. Children may bring a movie for everyone to vote on (as long as it can be played in French). Then, we like to enjoy some s'mores around a bonfire for dessert if the weather permits it! If not, there are plenty of activities to keep us busy!

The hours for the event are 5pm until 10pm in White Oak. Hours are flexible so if you need to drop off earlier or pick up a little later, that is quite fine. Just let me know.

In order for you to plan your evening, please consider the following estimate schedule we go by:

5:00 – 6:00: Arrival / Free Play (Inside or Outside)
6:00 – 6:30: Crafts / board games.
6:30 – 6:45: Clean up / Wash hands
7:00 – 8:30: Dinner + Movie
8:30 – 8:45: Clean up
8:45 – 10:00: Bonfire (weather permitting) / Free Play

The cost for the event is as follows:

• $12/hr for 1 child
• $18/hr for 2 children
• $21/hr for 3 children

The minimum stay is 2hrs and I will take on a maximum of 7 children at a time. In the event that more than 7 participants are interested, I will call upon an assistant to see if she can help, in which case, we will accommodate up to 12 participants.

If you are interested, please email me with a list of allergies/food restrictions, if any. The tentative date for the next event is Friday, November 20th. Also, if you could please include a rough estimate of drop off and pick up times, that would be very helpful as well.

If you are interested though unable to make it, I would be most grateful if you could share this post or email the details to anyone you feel might be interested in joining us. I love this event and we always have so much fun!

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns via email at [email protected] or by phone at 301.909.8416 (you may call or txt).

Thank you so much for your consideration and I will keep everyone updated. I am excited!

Merci beaucoup et à bientôt!
