This is how the French do it...


Every morning in 1st grade we have a morning meeting.  We greet each other, do sharing, play a game and read our morning letter.

 

Today, our little Johnny decided to greet in French.

 

“ Bon Joo Jane.   You have to say it with an accident, like this,  “Bon Joooooo.”  "




Oh yeah.   I'm back.

    ...and then, to be true to the French spirit, he ran away.

    When asked what a first grader wanted to be when she grows up, she responded to my friend "A cheerleader"

    And then when asked where the first graders want to study abroad, some of the answers were:

    New Jersey
    Baseball
    Disney World
    Fire Station

    They're just so cute!
