Madame taught us a weird but fun new game this week, stolen from her time living with two young boys in France. In the game, we had to find a partner and sit facing them, each holding the other's chin. Then we said the French equivalent of: "I hold you, you hold me by the beard. The first one who laughs gets a swat." (It sounds so much more melodic in French. And Madame eliminated the swatting for safety reasons.) ;-) Most of us laughed at how ridiculous we felt but we had some super strong giggle-resisters! It was a great week overall for French cultural activities since Tuesday was crêpe truck day! Mmmm...! Photo credits: Mrs. Bateson (our wonderful secretary). Madame was absent this day. We also saw some more sun this week! It really does exist! So we took full advantage with our Big Buddies on Wednesday. And now, time for some shout-outs! Little Miss Hailey invested her hard-earned money this week in the purchase of her classroom home. No more pesky rent payments for this girl! Time to start picking out paint colours! ;-) And then there's Kai, who resisted the allure of giant sour keys and jelly beans in order to save all of his money for something more expensive next week. Hooray for delaying gratification! And last but certainly not least, we have Rosie... the wheels are turning constantly in this girl's head! She came up to the classroom store with her money box in hand and declared that she had 35 cents, which she had counted all on her own. Then without an ounce of help, she divided her money up and showed Madame that she could buy one thing from the 25 cent box and two things from the 5 cent box. Ummm... who are you?! Are we certain she's not a Grade 1 student masquerading as a Kindergartener?? The investigation is pending...
