Week 4 Part 1

Hello Everyone !

Week 4 is on and we have a lot going on !
On Monday, the students had their first community engagement. We met with two classes of first graders and one of them was a class with special needs students. The students made 2-3 minutes presentations about some popular American monuments as the french students studied art, and architecture in particular. Our students and the french students then colored some templates of famous American monuments such as the empire State Building, the Statue of liberty, the Golden Gate, the Sears tower, etc. We ended the community engagement with all our students dancing traditional French kids songs with the little ones.
We ended the day with the weekly baking contest, and just like the first time, the cakes were delicious !
On Tuesday after class, we went bowling !! I think everybody had fun and the students could all appreciate their instructors' talents [insert joke here].
Today, we celebrated the Fourth of July, played "la boule de fort" a very local sport and we had a picnic outdoors with the host families, and the Mayor of Saumur too !

And now the pictures :
