[quote=Anonymous]Looking for Fun in FRENCH IMMERSION this Summer for your immersion-based child?

We all know how important it is to keep the kids exposed to the language at regular intervals during the Summer months to ensure an easy transition back into school in the Fall. Hi, I'm Mary (aka Madame Marie): Auntie, 10th year MCPS French Immersion super-substitute teacher, and favorite French immersion Summer kidsitter.

I'm here to fill in those days/weeks between camps -  pas de panic!  I also do standing, once weekly kid-dates, which are a great way to keep the immersion (specifically being put in a situation where they have no options to speak English)  a regular part of their experience throughout the Summer months!

Our activities depend on how many hours/days we're together but I like to keep things interesting, and have found that a mix of laid back, old-school Summer days (sleeping in, bike riding/skateboarding in the neighborhood, Art projects, movies, walks, picnics, public libraries, Downtown Silver Spring fountain fun, exploring in the Creek, etc) with some more adventurous days that take us further from home (Museum visits, activities and events, National Zoo, downtown festivals, swimming pool, etc) works really well.  That said, everything is of course, subject to the discretion of each individual family.
