The 6th grade French students just finished a unit entitled, Les Desserts francais" where they learned about typical desserts that are popular in France. Students learned a bit about their origins, ingredients and how they are prepared. We ended the unit with a dessert party, where students volunteered to bring in (make or purchase) some of the typical desserts that they learned about. Was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed tasting different things!
