Each year, Mountainview elementary students temporarily pause their social studies to pick up with their country of choice to learn about art, language, culture and customs. The month-long study culminates in two events: Travel Day and International Day. For our International Day performance, after a unit on France, my students prepared an original Madeleine skit and song.
Enjoy!
In an old house in Paris
That was covered in vines
Lived six little girls
In two straight lines
They left the house at half past nine
In two straight lines
In rain or shine
The smallest one was Madeline
In two straight lines
They toured the city
Saw paintings and buildings
And said "How Pretty!"
They went to museums,
Yes they went to a few
The largest of which they saw
Was the Louvre
They admired the arc
And walked through parks
They viewed Notre Dame
Which was almost spoiled
When the girls turned around
And saw a gargoyle
In the afternoon
At a quarter to three
The girls stopped off
At a quarter to three
The girls stopped off
At a bon creperie
With full happy stomachs
The girls walked in rows
Back across town
To their lovely chateau
