February French News Preschool
February is full of the excitement that can only be had when exploring Paris; such
perfect timing too! We can celebrate the city of love while enjoying Valentine’s Day
celebrations and fun. We will journey through some of the city’s most famous landmark
architecture and learn about some of the music and visual art which has made the city
such a desirable destination for people around the world. Of course, no “trip” to Paris
would be complete without an exploration of the city’s “haute cuisine”.
