In the Frösche class, we learn how to read and write sentences with the words we used in the beginners' classes. We develop a better ear and eye for the German language by translating short texts or stories from German to English and English to German. We learn geography about Germany and we also talk about animals and nature that are native to Germany in comparison to Ohio. We use the Mini Lük a lot and also learn German board games and card games. This class is supported by the Grüner Max textbook. Every year we have a class project that we work on the entire school year and present at our field day (which is also the last day of school).
