As part of our food unit, we held a taste testing of beverages that included limonade, orangina, diablo menthe, diablo fraise, grenadine, and mineral waters. Following the activity (during which we charted color, taste, aspect, and personal opinions of each beverage), we were required to discuss the beverage (using French only) with a partner.

Le Gateau Des Rois

noreply@blogger.com (madameshackelford) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:57:29 PST

French students celebrated "le gateau des rois' a few days early (January 3) this year, since Epiphany (January 6) fell on a Sunday. Our gateaux (six of them) were baked and generously donated to us by the Harrison Home Bakery. Un grand merci to Mr. Dieter Noller and his family - our favorite bakers!

What is "le gateau des rois"? This site gives a good explanation. Click here to read more about it, en français!

Who were the kings in the 2008 gateau des rois celebration at CNE?

Click here to see pictures of our CNE "rois" (kings)! In each class, two figurines were hidden in the cake, so two kings were crowned. The kings (and/or queens?) all received a no homework pass and a pencil advertising French.

Bonne Année! Happy New Year!
