One of the easiest ways to celebrate National French Week here, in the U.S., is with food!  This week, try eating some of these foods and tell us what you think:

nutella

crêpes

baguette (the long bread like you see at the top of this page)

croissants

éclairs

escargot

brie

camambert

National French week is November 5-12 this year.  What are some clever ways that you can think of to celebrate it?

We discussed this week that in France, they are not going to celebrate Columbus Day this coming Monday.  We also discussed the fact that they have some holidays in France that we don’t have, we have some that they don’t have and then there are some that we both have.  What do you think some of those holidays are that we share with France?

I asked each class to draw pictures of what they think of when they hear French or France.  Here are some collages that I made from their drawings!

As we get started with the school year, I’m curious about what you want to learn in French this year!

I have been very busy for the past few weeks, getting my new room at Wixon ready for 4th and 5th grade French! Today, I got my furniture straightened out and started putting posters on my walls. I’m excited to meet everyone next week!

You know I am a pretty projects oriented person and you’ve done quite a few this year. 8th grade has done a lot of projects since they’ve known me. Think about all of the projects that you’ve done. Which was your favorite and why?

Have you seen the new Lexus commercial with a French song all through it? It’s pretty cool!
