Making bûches de Noël in French classes has been a tradition for years at CF, and this year was no exception. A bûche de Noël is a rolled cake that is made to look like a yule log. Students in Madame Dimatos’ and Madame Ramsden’s French classes had the opportunity to make and to eat these cakes this week.





Students in Goody Roma’s English 11 classes got to experience Puritan plain style with some new headgear. In preparation for reading "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, Ms. Roma’s students (with some help from Mrs. Ramsden) created Puritan-style bonnets and hats. Students wore the hats while reading the opening act of the play. Some students even took their headgear home to wear at Thanksgiving dinner!







The final project for the Spanish for the Professions class’s business and hospitality unit was to host a luncheon in Spanish for teachers and administrators. Students created invitations, menus, and scripts all in Spanish. The menu included jamón, gallo pinto, pico de gallo, patacones, and polvorones.
