French Lesson



Bonjour! Yesterday, I volunteered in Jack's class for multicultural week. 1st graders are focusing on France. It was fun being back in the classroom teaching again...the old days at "New Hope" seem so long ago. Our grade level did a multicultural unit at the end year and I would teach about Kenya.

Jack's class made cockades of red, white & blue paper (symbolizing the knot of ribbons the French wear on hats or lapels) as a symbol of nationalism. Also they colored the French flag & will wear & carry their cockades & flags to an assembly today. They even learned a few French words & ate foods from France...croissants with French jelly & cream puffs on Wed. Yum. Too bad we can't take a field trip!
Au Revoir!
