Why Study a World Language? - This week EMS French students in grades 7 & 8 have been exploring Twenty-five Reasons to Study Foreign Languages and today showed their learning through sharing skits or posters in class, each representing one or more benefits to learning a world language. We made an art gallery of the posters which students had the opportunity to view and students doing skits performed in front of their peers in class today. Bon travail tout le monde!

6th Grade French Special Guest - Today our 6th grade French students were treated to a visit by EMS's own Monsieur Alain Dupont who grew up in Canaan Vermont and Coaticook Quebec. Alain has worked at EMS for 21 years and is someone the students will see a lot in the hallways as he is part of our school's Custodial Staff. Alain greeted the students in French and they learned "Bonjour, Mon nom est..." (Hello, My name is...) to introduce themselves. Alain told us about where he grew up and the school he attended where half of the school day was in French and the other half of the day was in English. He highlighted the importance of taking world language study seriously as it allows you to explore the world, understand other people & cultures, and even can help you get into college and get great jobs! Next week Alain will be visiting the remaining 6th grade classes for this trimester and hopefully will be able to visit the rest of the 6th grade in French this school year. Merci beaucoup Monsieur Dupont!
