Manners Movement in France

Are you polite to people in the service industry? You know who I'm talking about: the people who pour your coffees and cocoas, make your burgers, open the dressing rooms, and bag your groceries (just to name a few)! A little courtesy and a friendly attitude can go a long way just about anywhere, but especially in France.  Check out this article.

Fun Activities for World Language Students at SDMS!

Students and parents, take note of the following activities that are coming up!

Thursday, December 18 - 2:20-3:15

Snowman workshop

On Thursday we will be making cute little sledding snowman! They are fun to make and are a great ornament or fun winter decoration.

There are only 18 snowmen, so be sure to sign-up during class this week.  

The workshop is FREE.  All you need to bring is a bottle of glue (if you can)!

Tuesday and Wednesday, January 15 and 16 - 2:20-3:15

French movie afternoon

Come for a movie and a popcorn snack in Ms. Pinette's room.  We will watch a French movie, in French with English subtitles.  So that more kids can come, we will watch half the movie on Wednesday and finish it on Thursday.  This way, students can take the late bus home.
