Bonne année 2018!
Oh what fun we had in 7th grade French class prior to the holiday break.
I wanted to share some pictures from a special project that the 7th grade French class was able to enjoy as a reward for being the first French class out of our 6th, 7th and 8th grades to earn 20 points in the ‘8 minutes consécutives en francais!’ competition. This friendly competition is to promote full immersion into speaking in French during class time. For each 8 full minutes that we speak in French, as a class, a point is earned.
Each of the 3 classes worked hard to take the lead, but the 7th grade was the first to reach the goal. Their reward was to have a ‘fete’ where they embarked on a culinary adventure…making their own Buche de Noel from scratch, and then enjoying it, bien sur!
Each student brought in a different ingredient to assemble the buche.
We spent one class period making and baking the buche, and another class period decorating, eating, and learning about the recipe.
One the second day, once the bowls were washed and the last morsel of the cake enjoyed, the students were tasked to put in order a jumble of the recipe directions, all in French.
Here are some pictures of the fun we had!
Best,
Madame Daire
