Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!

I wish all of my students and their families "Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année"!  Please enjoy some links to traditional French Christmas carols:

Have a warm, memorable Christmas filled with the love of family and friends. May the Lord bless you with His presence this Christmas and always!

After School in French Zumba recital

Our After School in French zumba class had a short recital this past Monday!  Special appreciation goes to our teacher, Sareli, who taught the girls a number of dances and many cool moves!

This past week we worked on cards for those who have December birthdays.  Grades 4-6 students are continuing as well in their animal unit. Grades 7-8 students are busy reviewing and writing steps to a crêpe recipe as we want to use it as a model to write our own recipes.

Bonne semaine!

Photos from our French café!

This week our Grade 7/8 students hosted our French café! We had 22 guests from our church, Beautiful Savior Lutheran, as well as parents in attendance. Our guests and students did a terrific job interacting with each other in French.

Ten students were our servers, serving crêpes garnished to our guests' liking.  There was also cheese, fruit and caramel au beurre salé as well as coffee, tea and juice.

Our servers brought their orders to our "kitchen" where our two drink chefs and four crêpe chefs worked to fill orders.

We were entertained by Mr. Dan Raposo of Quest Music.  His musical talents truly added a a rich French ambience to our event!

And, of course, once we were done we all enjoyed some leftovers!  Great job, everyone!
