Bravo !  All Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes have now earned their first “French surprise” by filling up their class “Eiffel Tower.”  We celebrated by watching Albert Lamorisse’s classic and mesmerizing film Le ballon rouge.  We noticed how the city of Paris looked and sounded in the 1950’s, and we loved watching the story of the boy and his ballon rouge.

Just in case you missed the surprise at school, or you might like to enjoy it again, you can watch the short film in its entirety here:
