Mon carnet de voyage - My Travel Journal

Image
Students recently took an imaginary trip to Québec and wrote a travel journal in French! Some of them incorporated photos from Mlle Decker's own travels.  We then played a game to see who could answer questions correctly about students' travel journals and the winner got to pick a virtual background for Mlle!

Bûches de Noël, etc.

Image
Students had the opportunity to make a bûche de Noël (yule log), French Hanukkah cake or bread.  On Wednesday, students shared their culinary creations with the class on Zoom.  Students had a great time discussing their experience making them and giving each other some positive feedback on a job well done.  Some students were inspired to try their hand at it over break! I will update this page as new photos are sent to me! This bûche de Noël was garnished with rosemary and pomegranate seeds! Powdered sugar gives that snowy effect! White frosting gives the look of a birch tree or a log covered in snow!
