Madeline in Paris

Fun class this week!

We compared the art in our Madeline book to photos of buildings in Paris.  They were beautiful.  We attempted our own copy of one of our favorite Paris landmarks of choice.  They turned out remarkable!  We also had a fun impromptu visit from Teacher Genne.  She told us about some of the landmarks in Paris.  We even quizzed her and she passed with flying colors.

Also, we talked about symmetry.  We made a symmetrical Eiffel Tower with colored penne.

We also talked about the wonderful foods in France, including frog legs and sheep's brains!!!

We attempted to walk in two symmetrical lines to the bathroom to wash our hands.  We formed something that was more like a meandering river.  But we did make it back to class and we broke bread together when we ate a fresh baguette from Albertsons.

Next week, we will discuss personification and the book, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel.  If we have time we will also read a few Halloween stories.
