French Class

French students in Madame Denney's class enjoy a 'pain au chocolat' while recreating the masterpieces of the Post-Impressionist Vincent Van Gogh.   All work will be on display in the hallway for Student Led Conferences.  C'est magnifique, n'est-ce pas?

Telling Time in German

Students learn in a variety of ways.  They can search the web, read books, do experiments and have hands on learning.  Or in the case of Frau Jacob's German class they can learn by acting it out.  Here the students have become the hour and minute hands of a clock.  Frau Jacob called out a time in German and the students positioned themselves as if they were the hands on the clock. 
Can you tell what time it is?
