Almost Two Weeks in and whilrwind of birthdays!!!

 It's been quite the week!  So much has happened and there's still so much yet to come!

First off, in the past week we celebrated the birthdays of Brahm, Grace M., Morgan, Bailey and Nathalie.  The stagiaires celebrated with fake champagne and Orangina while snacking on all sorts of delicious cookies and treats.  Pictures from all of the birthday celebrations can be found at the link below.

On our orientation day, the students had the opportunity to repeat an activity that we had done during orientation in the Bloomington.  Each student presented their partner, sharing their goals for the summer and important things about themselves.  Pictures of all of the students can be found at the link below.

All About Me Poster Sharing

We got off to a great start with our first day of classes and the stagiaires are now fully immersed in the francophone world from all sides.  You can take a peek inside some of the classrooms in the photos below.

On Friday we had our first group optional activity. Everyone went bowling and had a blast.   All of the stagiaires played better than the profs.  Pictures from bowling can be found at the following link.

Bowling!

Tomorrow we have our first excursion and next Wednesday we'll be welcoming Breton dancers to teach everyone about traditional Breton culture.  Stay tuned for more photos after those two events next week!
