Renewable Energies Expert

Benjamin's 3rd/4th/5th grade class (CE2/CM1/CM2) learned about renewable & non-renewable energy sources at school. They took a field trip to a play on the same topic, and then worked on it in class as well. Benjamin did his presentation on solar panels.

 

After we had some time to check out the kids' work, they sang some songs for us they had learned with the music teacher who comes once a week.

You can always tell when Frédéric gets ahold of the camera...

But he does make some good-looking bread, doesn't he?

My Gardeners

My mom came for a visit (pursuant to my cry for help with the boys) - and we didn't even let her get over jet lag before we put her to work! Unfortunately for Noah, the weather since she has been here has been typical of fall in northern France: rainy and cold. So they haven't really been out digging in the dirt since then.

Noah is very pleased with his new gardening gloves, and doesn't care a bit that they are pink and have Disney princesses on them. (They won't stay pink long, anyway.)

The Thinker

I had this conversation with Noah the other day...

Noah: Je pense trop aux choses. (I think about things too much.)
Me: Oh? What do you think about?
Noah: Comment fabriquer des avions. (How to make airplanes.)
Me: Oh?? You think about that??
Noah: J'y pense plus maintenant. (I don't think about it anymore.)
Me: Why not?
Noah: C'est interdit à l'école. (It's not allowed at school.)

Oh.... guess we are not talking 747s here.
