Peabody’s French Cheese Experts

Did you know that we have a “Cercle des Connaisseurs de Fromage” at Peabody school(the CCFPS, “ Peabody Cheese Connaisseurs society” )?!
French Grade 5 students just got their Certificate and their membership card after a Tour de France du Fromage through diverse activities and cheese tastings. To be part of this very private club, they had to be able to describe a cheese in French following a very detailed sensory grid!
Congratulations to our cheese experts!

Game and crêpes in Grade 4 French

In Grade 4 French class this week, we played the “jeu des 7 Familles”, a happy family game version that they created themselves! Bravo! And, since it was official Crêpe Day in France, they got to flip crêpes (with a coin in their hand after making a wish, as the tradition goes) and of course they savored them with confiture et chocolat. Miam!
