Did you know that mardi gras means Fat Tuesday in English? mardi is the word for Tuesday! Students learned about and celebrated mardi gras in French class on Feb 8th & 9th. French students created masks to wear in traditional mardi gras celebrations around the world! Students saw a slideshow of where and how this tradition is celebrated differently around the world, including France & of course New Orleans! On the 15th & 16th we brought in traditional King's Cakes from Uncle Mikes Bake Shoppe for the students to sample! We tried both the cinnamon and cream cheese flavors and waited to see who would find the hidden "baby" in the cake! Be sure to ask your student why there is a baby hidden in the cake!! Here are some photos from our celebrations!
