KX ,gg Expanding Selection In Foreign Languages Bonjour! French has made a return to the Palo Verde halls after a long absence. Expressions of R!pt-Rez apres moi, et ouvres vos livres, can be heard often echoing throughout the se- cond story classrooms. The administration was surprised at how many of the students were in- terested in taking a French class as an elective. They planned on having only enough students for one class, but the high demand was enough to fill three classes. For both French and Spanish, the teachers tried to get the speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills as proficient as possible. The students were really enthusiastic and positive about learning. said Mrs. DeMarinis. To get the students more involved and interested in the actual culture of a foreign land, Mrs. DeMarinis showed a movie about Paris. She then had a French gourmet food day during which the students brought in and tasted the foods. Traditional foods were brought, including baguette bread cheese, cream puffs and Perrier mineral water. After it was over, Genise Johnson question- ed, Where was all the wine I heard about? All we got was that gushy cheese. U1 Students John Hiiborn, Vincent Woodard, Annjanette Ortiz, and Michelle Vanderen get ready to work at the beginning of first hour Spanish class. iPhoto by L.
