Text Box: Bienvenue!!! Text Box: “I grew up in Iowa and I knew what to do with butter: You put it on roastin’ ears, pancakes, and popcorn. Then I went to France and saw a Frenchman put butter on his radishes. I waited for the Cosmic Revenge—for the Eiffel Tower to topple, the Seine to sizzle, or the grape to wither on the vine. But that Frenchman put butter on his radishes and the Gallic universe continued unperturbed. I realized then something I hadn’t learned in five years of language study: not only was speaking in French different from speaking in English, but buttering in French was different from buttering in English. And that was the beginning of real cross-cultural understanding.” -Genelle Morain

Vive le français!!!

Welcome to Mademoiselle Corvo’s class web page. 

Dear Parents,

 

Welcome back!  The summer seemed to really fly by this year!  It’s hard to believe that it’s September again.  I am so happy and excited to be back at the high school this year.  This is an important and challenging time in your child’s life—whether it be starting a new school as freshmen or getting ready for college as seniors.  I am looking forward to working with you this year.

 

On this website I will be posting daily assignments, upcoming projects, and class news.    As always, please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss any questions or concerns.

 

                                

                                            À bientôt,

                                Mlle E. Corvo

 

 

P.S.  Due to a variety of reasons, this website may not always be up to date.  Your  child’s agenda book should be their first resource!
