And what fun we had! The students had to try to guess the activity (in French, of course), with yes/no questions such as "Are we going to be outside", "Is it a game?", "Will we be in the gym?" etc. They finally guessed that we were going to be doing a cooking activity with Chef Olivier Marquet in the kitchen. Since Wednesday is always a half-day, Chef Olivier and his team do not have to work on the close-to-1,000 meals that they prepare from scratch each day.
We worked in two groups to prepare (and then eat - bonjour carbs!) delicious crepes aux pommes, and choux a la creme (cream puffs). The whole class was delivered in French, and the students learned some interesting culinary vocabulary - ask your child what a large mixing bowl is called in French. I'm not going to get myself in trouble saying it here! 😊
After a class period during which the students worked on their assignments from LLA, they spent the last period of the morning visiting classes. It is interesting hearing our students' comparative reflections on school culture in the U.S. and France.
We are looking forward to hearing all about the students' Wednesday afternoon adventures :)
Photos will follow soon. In the interim, remember you can check Mme Elore's pictures at
