La grammaire est un jeu d'enfants...

Who ever said grammar was difficult had not played grammatical games with the CM1 and CM2...

Watercolor with Kay Morris

Our students were lucky to have Kay Morris who is a Maine watercolor artist.

 She taught us how to translate our knowledge of values into working with color.

Under her guidance, we painted this red hat.

We had a great time. Meeting Kay was quite an inspiring experience.

The meaning of Thanksgiving...

Our CM1 and CM2 students were discussing the meaning and the significance of Thanksgiving...they decided to offer workshops to the other students. They wanted to give of their time and of their abilities : they decided to teach younger students about things they know how to do.

A few different workshops were offered:

One to make cupcakes and Rice Crispies treats...

One to make turkeys with candies and Oreo cookies...

One to create mini-babyfoots (fuss ball)...

How to paint turkeys with our hands and feet...

How to play soccer together...

How to draw...

How to make turkeys with paper

How to make "claymation" characters with play dough

We had so much fun being together, sharing our skills and giving to others... Some students thought it was too short...many said it was not easy to teach! Big applause to all! 

AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM ALL OF US AT L'ECOLE FRANCAISE DU MAINE.
