I paid for only one coin that said 50 cents and that's all for getting three sweets. Then I went to see an art exhibition.
(Note from the editor: we went to the French version of Filene's basement, where Téo--Léa's little brother--wanted to buy a small purse for keeping his money; so we bought two, on eeach, and gave them some small change which they used at the bakery to buy some sweets, and to learn how to count French money. The art exhibition was from the local art club to which Léa's grandmother belongs, and her works were on display too.)
Comment from the editor: Actually, the coin was for 50 cents but the sweets were for 5 cents (she got two) and 10 cents, so she used only 20 cents and got back 50 cents. French coins are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents (as well as 1 and 2 Euros, which are about 1 and 2 dollars, more or less). For Mrs Andrepont: That's a nice exercise for getting change, for the next math class! :)
RépondreSupprimerJust to be clear: Mamine (Lea's grandmother) works were on display, not Léa's.
RépondreSupprimerLea! We're so happy to read about your adventures! Today the class was really excited to read your email from Tuesday. Now you have a blog...that's so cool! It sounds like you're having a lot of fun. We miss you, but we know we'll see you in a few months!
RépondreSupprimerI'm so happy we can still communicate on the internet! Today, we were reading about France, and Makayla was very curious about the money people use in France, so we'd like to learn a little more about Euros. Marilyn and I were reading together about schools in France, and we were thinking about how they were the same and different than in the U.S. Is it true that alot of kids in France don't go to school on Wednesdays...EVER?
The class won't be at school tomorrow (but the teachers will be working), but I know many of the kids wanted to email you back. Angelica can't wait to write to you! So look for an email from them on Friday!
:) Ms. Andrepont
