Fleur de Lis Craft



Using a stencil, fabric paper, and some cardboard, we created these beautiful ornaments in the 6th grade. The Fleur de Lis is a traditional symbol of royalty in France. You can read more about it HERE. 

Design a shirt in French



A fantastic project we did this week! Every student used online computer software (www.pizap.com) to design a shirt. We printed out the design, ironed them on (using iron-on transfer paper from Staples) to a white T, and wore them during National French week!

National French Week Craft - Flag Collage


The fifth grade joined the celebration by creating French flag collages. We cut up old magazines and found pages that were bleu, blanc, and rouge. We pasted them on to one piece of white paper and voila, an artistic French flag.

French Cheese Projects - National French Week




To celebrate National French Week the 8th grade presented the projects they have been working on for the past few classes. They worked in pairs to research the fromage of France. They studied the cheese, the region it came from, and even what animal is used in it's production. The middle school joined us on the final day to sample le fromage!
