My Project

In French 1, students learn all about the foods and traditions of breakfast in France.

We would like to create a take home breakfast for students so that they have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional French breakfast at home.

One of our goals is to build more family engagement. This at-home experience will encourage students to share what they are learning about in French class with their families and have a common experience.

Students will bring home Nutella, Bonne Maman jam, and hot chocolate to recreate the traditional French breakfast.
