Mmmm! Le Croissant

On Friday over the noon hour, the Grade 7 and 8 students had a lovely stroll in the warm sunshine and crunchy leaves to nearby Saint-Boniface.  Our destination was none other than Le Croissant, owned and operated by Jerome and Fabienne Boulanger, who came to Winnipeg from Alsace, France in 2005 and have been delighting our city with the finest croissants, French breads, pastries and desserts ever since. Coincidentally, their last name means "baker" in French.

Le Croissant, 276 Taché Avenue

What a mouth-watering display of fine baked goods!

Each student made their request en français, which gave us practice for the newly-acquired expression, "Je voudrais...s'il vous plaît."  Mme Boulanger also very generously treated the students to some caramel and chocolate macaroons!  Students presented her with a thank-you card containing some haiku poetry (en français, bien sûr!), written about Le Croissant and its amazing foods.

Afterward, we enjoyed a quick lunch in Coronation Park nearby.

We had a quick promenade à pied back to school, in time for our next class of the afternoon!  It was a memorable time and we felt truly blessed.

In all grades, we will be continuing our work on the Questions of the Week from last week. We will be looking forward to starting some new student modules that will further our learning in our "Moi/Identification personelle" unit.

À bientôt,

Mme Christensen
