French Café - Regional Dish Presentation

Yesterday our 8th grade completed their final French presentation of the year. They were each assigned a region of France and were asked to explore it's geography, climate, and local exports. Once they found this information, each group was required to research a traditional recipe, prepare it at home, and serve it to their class explaining why they choose their particular dish. We were joined by Mrs. Figaro, Mrs. Santangelo, and Mrs. Calcagno who were treated to crêpes, cassoulet, pomme de terres Lyonnaise, Camebert, salad Niçoise, and une salade de pois chiches.

Petit Poisson Blanc

We have been woking on the story, "Petit Poisson Blanc", and today we finished our sea creatures that the little fish meets while looking for his maman. We used paper, recycled plastic, glitter, and feathers to make our beautiful creations.

Use them as much as possible to help reinforce your new words.

Les Marionettes

Today we performed Peter Pan with puppets in our theatre for the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes. We had a discussion about the two different types of puppets we used and the 7th performed in both English and French.

French app for iPad

While reading a French magazine this morning, I came across some recommendations for educational French apps on the iPad/iphone. I downloaded the free lite version and like it so much I bought the full version minutes later. It's a bit pricey at 4.99, but it has beautiful graphics and clear and simple text. I also love that the narrator gives directions orally so it is really great for working on listening skills. Just type in coccinelle at the app store and it should pop right up.

J'aime bien cette chanson. Elle vient de Québec! Nous l'avons écoutée en classe aujourd'hui.
